Clinical
falcon in box when we got there this evening. Female. We watched and took pictures. She went inside and was scraping. then out on box( my heart is just racing) . then she started chupping and in comes male with a present. He bowed on front wrung and then flew over to south east corner of Maz, in bow position. Female flew over to corner right beside him and proceeded to eat. ( she is in box as I type)
We decided to leave as we have 2 here. I should have waited till turn in but I thought. someone would have bands
her bottom looks egg heavy and she is in stance. Pretty sure this is Radisson.
Male is banded.
I will watch for a bit and finish this later with photos from cam and ground

Two birdies at the box this evening, I think he brought her a gift. :)

Bev and Peter were down at the University tonight to check out the reports from this morning about the falcons, and she wrote on BCAW that Radisson and her mate (not yet identified with certainty) are indeed back at the nestbox. Radisson was fussing around inside, and Bev thought she looked bottom-heavy and was getting close to laying an egg. We are all relieved and happy to know that the falcons did not let the humans at the nestbox this week stop them from returning there, eventually. I think we can expect an egg very soon.
RCF:
That's great news carly, glad you were watching! ;D
carly:
fALCON IN NESTBOX RIGHT NOW, THINK IT'S RADISSON!
Edit to add: sorry for the caps..lol. She stayed a few minutes, semed a bit aprehensive but she did go inside the nestbox for a few and then took off. So perhaps a reconnaissance mission to make sure the evil humans are gone for good :P
