I don't know Alison, Mathew posted that he's contacted them several times but he gets no response at all. I do hope he will be okay, not just because of the Jack situation but because he's a beautiful falcon and I'd hate to see him grounded. Honestly I don't know much about injuries like that, but when I read that his bones were shattered in his wing..my first thought was that he'd likely never fly again. It was more that it sounded so serious, not any knowledge on my part what so ever because I"m clueless in that department.
I will keep talking to Angel...as I don't think it's good for the survival of the species for males to run two nest sites. It can result in multiple nest failures, lone females being vulnerable to predators or territorial takeovers and eyases dying all of which we've seen here in past situations. Their lives are difficult enough as it is, no need to add to it.
Alison:
I hope everything resolves itself at this nest - I have been wondering about the injured TR male too. I hope he is doing well, but why no updates?
Maybe if you keep trying, Angel will start to listen . . .
carly:
Yeah, I have to practice my echupping and cacking :P Really I don't want a bigamous male ... I don't have the constitution for all the emotional challenges it will bring if he mates with both of them next Spring.
So we either need a new male or the old TR male recovers and they release him to his longtime mate. I really find it strange that they haven't even released any information on the TR male and his progress...is his wing healing? Is he okay? Nothing...since that first report.

I saw dad engage again this morning with what looked like another falcon..it was weird and they were quite far but it was definitely another falcon...at first I thought it might be the TR female come into the zone but he was alarming again unless he was panicked cause she came here..lol!. They seemed to knock talons in the air and then they separated, he came towards our building rooftop alarming and the other falcon/bird?? landed down the street on a condo tower and then took off in the opposite direction. I ran upstairs to get my binoculars but of course by that time both had vanished. I have no idea what to make of it at all.
I'm concerned about my Angel, she's an older gal and this would be the time a younger female might try to displace her if he's only here half the time. Every morning I sit at the bottom of the nest ledge tower and chat to her..trying to talk her into finding a new mate...lol..she's not buying it :P
