As of right now, it is a "something" rather than a "someone".  But "someone" put the "something" there this morning - it sure wasn't there when last I checked yesterday.  Its also a very (very) messy "something".  Can't believe they are related to Trey ... that's how messy  ;) also the reason I hesitate to post a photo, but if y'all want one, I have one ....

Looks to me like it could be a meal or the remnants of a meal. :-\

I'm wondering if it is 'something' rather than 'someone' on the "R" - what do you think, bccs?  Tracy, have you got the cam going?

Do you think it's the same "foreigner", or one of our locals, Bccs? Good to have you back at your watching post -- hope the return to work is going okay.

Very nice to see the pictures, even if it's not one of ours.

Well...amusing as it is to see another falcon in the area, actually great to see another falcon in the area, still wonder who she is??

Interesting though...I guess Trey and Princess have moved on and migrated as they would not put up with this young proud female at their site and perches and territory! 

Drama, drama, drama....!!  Too cool!!!!

She was there for hours and it was only in the last 10 minutes that she decided to start looking "up".  Not sure if she was actually looking at the camera - I was moving it around to get a better view at her - or if she was scoping out lunch.  Shortly after those images she really did drop off the sign in hunting-up-lunch mode ...

(and thanks for the compliments but I just hit the capture button ;D)

That spy cam is really living up to its name, though I think, Allikat and Carly are right.  She is onto you, TPC.

Me too Carly....she saying with her eyes "Ahhh, excuse me, I'm trying to eat here, do you mind?!?!?!"

I was wondering, TPC, how many hatchlings has this project had since you started what 18 years ago?  I was reading how in another location they had their 1000th hatchling. 

I need to check exact numbers but I believe we are a bit over 200 young birds released/hatched through the Project since we began reintroducing peregrines into the province in 1981.  I'll see about getting an accurate number for you this week though Eagle!
