Eli,
this is off topic but if you check on the Edmonton site you will see that even 2 females cared for a clutch together and the now resident male took care of them all.
that is why he is so important to us.

--- Quote ---Here in Toronto - as Bev can attest to - we had a falcon who had 2 nests going at the same time one year.  Two mates and two sets of offspring, one of his mates drove him off after the season as she was left alone most of the time to care for them and it was not easy as I believe she had 3 or 4 babies that year.  In an even more interesting turn of events, one of the males at a nearby territory was actually seen dropping off food for her and her eyases - it not for that, they would probably have not survived.

Carly, this is fascinating.  Both bigamy and altruism in the falcon world!  Thanks for these great tidbits of information.

allikat:

The Latest On Mariah’s Condition

April 23rd, 2009
Mike Allen has sent us another update from the vets in Syracuse who are taking care of Mariah…

Mariah is improving every day. The Dr. came here yesterday and reapplied the skin glue to both her neck wound and wing wound. We measured the neck wound and it had decreased in size to 1/2″ X 1/2″. We actually measured it with a ruler. It is very scabbed over and nice new granulation tissue is growing around it. At some point we will remove the torn flap of skin on her patagium, but wanted that to heal better first.

She will continue to have small cage rest for a couple of weeks and then we will move her to an outside mew. I bought a soft, shock absorbing yoga mat and tacked it onto a 10″ wide piece of plywood and covered it with new Astroturf. We are screwing it to the top of a large perch so that she has a flat surface to stand on, since peregrines are cliff dwelling birds.

She loves the fresh quail we got her this week and she readily takes all her Baytril twice daily. She is a wonderful little patient. The doctor also looked at her eyes yesterday and found no visual impairment. We have not x-rayed her since she is showing no signs of any fractures anywhere. Legs, wings, feet etc. are working well. She cast a pellet yesterday that was as long as a lemon. We will keep you posted.
