Carly, you are such a caring one.  It's probably going to be good news you receive, as no peregrine injuries were likely from the reports, and she's off to find her own place.

No sign of Mariah all day.  I've been checking kfalcon and just got myself set up to get live 'twitter' updates on my pc from the watchers channels and as of 6 minutes ago..she is nowhere to be found.  Archer and Beauty are all over the gorge apparently but no Mariah.  I guess they've driven her out  :'(  Hope she is safe somewhere.
Hey.....chin up Carly.  As long as Mariah is okay!  She will get her own territory and her own mate...she will!

Update from Carol on Imprints:

Just a quick update -

On Sunday morning, 7/19, both Archer and Beauty were on the Kodak Tower. Mariah returned and (we believe) chased A&B off. Both A&B ended up in the gorge. Archer on the gorge wall, below the observation deck and Beauty in the Shady Tree (also on the east side gorge wall).

All was calm for a quite a long time. Then according to Brian, Beauty flew out of the gorge towards the K-Tower, Mariah came off and an aerial battle was begun. Mariah was doing all the chasing and Beauty would go talons up.

It all changed when Archer joined in. Once she was double teamed, Mariah flew off towards the North. Smart girl! Beauty returned to the K-Tower and landed on the Launch Pad.

Beauty then flew downtown and both she and Archer entered the Times Square nest box.

When we left last night, Archer and Beauty were still at the Times Square nest box and we weren’t sure where Mariah was. As far as we know, no Peregrines were hurt.

The truce has ended.  Apparently Mariah was in a battle with both Beauty and Archer yesterday as they invaded the Kodak Tower.   God, I hope she's alright.  :-X :-X

Maybe the two female falcons were displaying a nice moment together because same gender events happen in the animal kingdom all the time?  Like two female human friends?

Heh...no need to be sorry.  I just find the whole situation interesting as no way our pair here would allow another adult to hang out in their territory - chicks or no chicks, they are pretty territorial.  Everyone gets an escort out..lol..it's all very civilized.  First time I've heard of anything like this...it's actually kind of cool.  Maybe if another male comes on the scene - things will change again.
