Finally a bird lands on the Sterling bldg, ran to get my scope as it was the male having a meal.......too late to get a band number.  Took some fuzzy pics through our dirty windows, but they will not be clear enough. 

They could help us narrow him down though Pam, so don't sell your fuzzy photos short!!

Spent the better part of 2 afternoons topside, and had a couple visitors.  First one verrrry quiet.  Did however try to crap on me a couple times, but just stayed on the tower and watched, and not a peep.   Yesterday, 1 visit, noisey brat with a great big yap......

Not sure who the first was, but the second was surely the old hag herself.   ;)

...don't listen to him, TPC, you're not an old hag... ;)

Thanks Jadoo  :-* ;D

My first question is - since Sandy and a male had been doing the unmentionable, does that mean Sandy has fertilized eggs that she has to lay somewhere?  On her own??

From what I saw, it was more like second base rather than a homerun between Sandy and her male companion.  They were really just starting courtship so I don't think there is much (if any) chance she's in the "family way".  ;)

Have Princess and the unknown male been doing whoopie?  I haven't noticed any posting on going blind watching them . . . :D

The computer hardware connected to the cams is being upgraded at the moment so I'm afraid I have had no opportunity to witness any whoopie downtown in the last week.  So yes, my eyesight is just fine  ;D  Maybe some of the other spotters downtown have though.  When the cams are back and as the pair start to resume some of their old habits we will get more oppotunities to go "blind"  :D

I've come out of the shadows to shed light ( ;D) on some of the pressing questions I have with all of the action that has taken place in the last weeks.
