OH / Columbus - Rhodes Tower - 2008-16
susha:
Thanks for the info RCF. I couldn't remember what happened at this site last year. The BCAW site says that they're still wondering if these two might nest this year...I thought that the year after fledging was too young for a PF to begin nesting ...Am I imagining that info? ???
RCF:
Durand had a failed clutch last year, so no this would not be one of her kids. :)
Spark 32/B is the son of Boomer and SW (and grandson of Scout and Orville in Columbus) - fledged from the Terminal Tower nest in Cleveland, Ohio, in 2011. He arrived at the Columbus nest on May 7, 2012.

Odd, unless Spark is harkening back to his (fairly recent) youth and is looking to Durand to feed him... :)

So, this might be a really stupid question, but is it possible that this is one of Durand's kids from last year... ??? ::) Does that ever happen?

Let's hope for the best for this site, it's time for good news here! Orville and Scout were a great pair.
