I am surprised you still have falcons around. although ours do not typically leave till around Oct8th but left earlier this year.

If you have any photos bccs, even ones from a distance, please send them along!!! I heard through the grapevine that someone may have spotted Princess south of Omaha and I'm trying to track it down now so a photo would be very useful. Given what we have been watching on the cameras (east and west side cams) I'm inclined to think that you perhaps saw either Smiley or Joli though - he's got the same leg band colour combination as Princess but Joli looks more like Princess than he does. Joli & Smiley have been at the nestbox and around the Radisson all week and we haven't had a confirmed sighting of Princess in close to a month and nothing of Ivy in a couple of weeks I believe. Given how protective she is of this site she wouldn't tolerate Joli and Smiley playing house in "her" house so I think you may have had the closest (physically close) sighting of these two since the spring when we initially got their band numbers - well done!
Kinderchick:
Wow! Amazing to hear that Princess is still around! :D

Both Smiley and Joli have been "playing house" in the nestbox this morning. Lots of head-bowing and kakking at one another. Smiley is the leader, gets to the box, followed a few seconds up to a minute later by Joli and then they are both in the box displaying to/for each other. Smiley takes off first, Joli hangs around for a bit longer - 2 to 20 minutes - then she too takes off into the wild blue (or snowy overcast grey).
It's snowing downtown at the moment ... will try to get some screen grabs from just before lunch - it looked like an late spring snowstorm! Especially with a peregrine sitting on the edge of the nestbox :D
