THe falcon was still sitting there. We watched for a while (we were in a parking lot north side of Pacific) and then went up to the parkade, Falcon still in nest box and we then spotted another falcon sitting on mts tower. This one was very sleek and neat, very white breast and silvery grey back,also a lot smaller than bird sitting in nest box. He sat there just looking like he owned the place and finally flew to decoative ledge and proceeded to pluck a bird (feathers looked like a gull) the other falcon continued to sit in the nest box and would disappear inside at times and I'll leave the rest of the story for rcf cause she's going to check again before she goes home. Falcon was still in nest box when we left.

oops I meant to say april 2nd
RCF:
Tracy, is there anyone out here in Brandon that is able to identify our falcons, because our binos are just not powerful enough to see?
RCF:
Yes, we have two falcons here. 8) On Saturday I thought I saw one in the nestbox and one chasing pigeons. By the time I got up to parkade, I only saw one having dinner on the southeast corner of roof. I had to go to Brandon today because I was just too curious to wait until monday ::). I parked just northeast of Mckenzie bldg and sure enough there was a falcon in nestbox. I believe this is not the same falcon (supposedly Hurricane) we have been seeing for the past week and a half. Rose and I were watching from parkade and finally saw second falcon perched on MTS tower (think it's Zeus). The falcon in nestbox is very much larger than the other one on MTS tower. We also may have or had a bit of drama because while these two falcons were perched, we saw a third falcon circling to the east. Maybe its Zeus and Holly and Hurricane was chased off. ??? The falcon in the nestbox pretty much stayed there for the two hours I was watching. Her back feathers were kind of gray silvery and she had a very dark cap, much larger than who we think was Hurricane.
