Bev and Peter and Becky and I all happened to arrive down here tonight to check out the situation, and the situation is this: There are two males here, alright, but tonight, as the intruder male arrived at the nestbox, both Radisson and original male (we think) chased him off, with Radisson giving him a couple of hits, but he was o.k. She and the original male then returned to their positions, Radisson in the nestbox and the male on a corner of College Plaza. Shortly after, he and Radisson did a bit of bonding by flying around together and having a pleasant conversation. It seemed obvious that he is the preferred male. Then the male settled on the corner of the Clinical Sciences Building while Radisson returned to the nestbox. Bev and Peter hoped to witness a food exchange, as this would reassure us all that Radisson and this male have a good bond, but they had to leave, they were so exhausted. While I was there, no food exchange, but Becky hoped to see this before she departed later.
