Logan - 2013 / Cowboy & Jolicoeur
birdcamfan:
Birdie sitting on the corner of the Buhler building all alone as far as I could see between 1800h and 1930h. Sorry, I don't have a spy cam and can't tell who's who from the ground.

Who knows, kind of out of my experience I'm afraid. Closest I have is when T-Rex incubated his father's eggs when Pop disappeared mid-incubation.
To be fair to Joli, I can't think when I last saw Joli and Ivy canoodling ... could be that Ivy is the one who has decided to wait for Princess and Joli has stopped waiting for Ivy. Could be that what we are watching now is Ivy defending the nestbox from Smiley and Joli ...

The Peregrine Chick:
Update on this site, Smiley and Joli have been dating, well, more than dating, they have been canoodling at the Brodie Centre. Don't know if that is an indication of her preference or if she's playing the field, but Dennis has photographic proof of their bands. Smiley is bigger than Ivy which if Joli has chosen Smiley might be an indication of her preferences. He doesn't have a nestsite like the Radisson but he may just seem a bigger/better choice. Given what we know of Ivy's abilities over the last few years and that Smiley hasn't produced any young yet, it may be an indication of Joli's inexperience. Smiley is a 2009 wild-hatch and Joli is a 2010 wild-hatch, so they are just old enough to get down to nesting, so we will have to see what happens.
Or maybe she recognizes his "accent" - I'm joking of course, but Joli and Smiley are both North Dakota birds - Smiley is from Grand Forks and is the son of Roosevelt (Fargo) and Terminator (Brandon). Jolicoeur is half-sib of both Roosevelt and Terminator's mother Holly, so is Smiley's aunt and a second cousin maybe removed on the other side.
