;D ;D ;D ;D
I hope Jack can keep them both well fed. He is going to be quite lean by end of season.

Spent the morning down at the site today. jack was back on his old sign perch again. He was there yesterday too for the first time since last years juvies left so I figured my timing is spot on. Saw him catch a pigeon in mid air again, that's only the second time I"ve seen him do that and it's so cool! The funny thing is he was on a ledge defeathering a prey he had just caught and this poor pigeon was coming in to land on the ledge, realized the bird there was NOT another pigeon and tried to back out in mid flight, Jack just reached out and grabbed him and I heard a goodbye squak and I think that lunch went to TR mom as he briefly left and headed towards there and came back 15 minutes later.
He gave mom a nice long break today, she ate, she preened and she relaxed. She was awfully squirmy in the nest box and could actually see her moving around in there today so something is up!
Something interesting happened today, Jack noticed me and actually came over to where I was - which was in the middle of the street about 1 block down from the nest site - and he came down lower than usual and circled three times above me?! I'm not sure if that's some sort of falcon voodoo curse but I think he was trying to tell me he's onto me :P I did what any respectable coward would do and I bowed my head in submission and then he flew back up to the ledge.

Thanks to Alison letting me know about Rhae's hatches - I was waiting for that because she was only 2 days or 3 at the most ahead of our site this year and I was planning to be down at the site this weekend as today is Day 30 of heavy incubation.
Jack was around alot more than usual today and I had to run a few blocks down to get alook at the nestbox and did see mom's tail sticking out with my binoculars but no food deliveries which is pretty much the only way I will know if there is a hatch now.

Wish they could get the cam up and running.
I am hoping the TR male stays safe. too bad he was not ready to be released earlier. Then Jack may have stayed with just one site.
Or maybe , they think his hormones will not be in mode and this was a better time
good luck CArly :-*
carly:
As we await a hatch here within the next week potentially, TR Male is set to be released in the next few weeks so that should be interesting.
I will be here this weekend both days to see what's' going on as Day 30 of heavy incubation is this Friday. Wish I could give you more details but honestly I have no idea what is going on up there.
