That was heart breaking Alison.  I onlly pray that if Rocky migrates again for the winter, she doesn't decide to try doing that again..but I wonder about her.  She didn't seem to be interested in Dipper just staring at herself in the glass windows..weird.  She's her father's daughter no doubt.

Updates on this site:

For a time, Lara went back and forth between this nest and her own nest site at the I-80 Bridge, where Rocky had reappeared. Then Diana from the Shaker Heights nest also showed up here with Dipper.  And a third female, Ely, black/black 85/X, born in 2008 at the King Street nest in Toronto, also arrived.

Lara eventually went home to the I-80 bridge site, where she and Rocky are incubating eggs.  Diana returned to Shaker Heights, where she found a new mate, Stator, and they are incubating eggs.  And Ely is Dipper's new mate; they are also incubating eggs.

Ely is a beauty. Chad and Chris captured some great photos of her just after she laid her first egg:

The only loser in this whole soap opera was Cade.  :'( I have no idea why Lara showed up here and injured Cade so badly that she had to be euthanized, and then went home again in the end.

I would never give up on Rocky . . . and the posts below from Lisa in Cleveland on February 3 may well be good news:

Drove down CVNP to look for Rocky this afternoon after my fruitless search for the CVNP eagles. Rocky was sitting on one of the bridge supports all by his lonesome! I sure hope he finds another female!

Well, at least I think it was Rocky. It was definitely a peregrine on the bridge support but I didn't have my scope so I can't say I could see any part of the bands.

Wherever the males go, a lot of them come back later so this is early yet, and some think the weather has something to do with it.
I am no expert but I am dreading going through this in the spring.
and sometimes for no reason we know of they find new mates elsewhere.

Keep your fingers crossed
