Well, I suppose the only way to know for sure, would be with tracking devices as are on Rain & Rosser in Brandon. But I don't imagine there have ever been adult pairs, each with a tracking device on. Now that would certainly make for an interesting study, I would think.

I am relieved and very glad to hear this. I was worried that they may become discouraged and give up on each other. Do pairs ever remain together during the migration period, TPC?

Actually, not as much as I worried they might. Could be because they were there with Dennis and I when Polo died. They have been at the nestsite but only occasionally have they visited the nestbox, which is interesting as this is where Polo spent most of the day out of the sun and where they usually found him. What is a good sign is that Beau has been more successful in his efforts/desire to pair-bond with Jules than Ivy has been (so far) with Princess. And by good, I mean positive and hopeful. Jules and Beau have had a hugely stressful year this year, much worse than any of our other pairs ever. It is a hopeful sign to see them interacting like this and that they will have time to recover before heading off on migration in the fall.
