Still no word. Mathew saw what he thinks may be Jack looking around the old ledge but other than that all is quiet. He's gotten permission to go onto an adjoining balcony and is going to see if TR Mom is there and if there is a hatch and they should have one by now - they were about 2 days behind us.
No sign of Jack here and mom is sitting tight on the box. I saw her head up and she was looking around a bit and heard a call but no one has come in. I know she will have a cache of food but I wonder how big the cache would be given he's supplying two sites? It was minus 4 here this morning and it's still quite brisk out there. Hopefully she can zip to the cache and then just keep some food next to her which I'm sure she would as I've seen her tuck food in the corner before for the wee ones.

The wound may not be bad - one year Zeus (I think) had a big dark red (dried blood) spot on his breat that was probably from some tussle or another. It looked much worse than it must have been - or it might just have been dried blood from a meal (but it seemed kind of high). He's got more than one nest to "protect" in his mind, so he may not push his luck if he's injured ... particularly if Milton is only interested in one of Jack's two sites rather than the whole territory including both sites ...
And do keep us informed Carly! One can almost never post too much information about these kinds of events ... and it helps to have a record to go back and check ...
carly:
All is quiet at both sites now, no signs of any falcons anywhere..so we wait.

oH CRAP!!
Today it appears Milton is trying to take back his territory, Jack is defending.
730AM I watched what I believe to be Jack trying to chase what I will guess was Milton off site. I recognize Jack's unique flapping, and will review photos to confirm who was who.
More observations to follow, but the bottom line is these guys are going to have to work it out.
