Grandson of the great Orville & Scout is really lovely news.  I hope this changes things to the good permanently for this nest site.

Elaine L:
The latest from BCAW is that the new young male who came to this site about a week ago (after the disappearance of Chance) and has been courting Durand, has now been identified.  He is Spark, the grandson of Orville and Scout.  In case everyone does not know this, the great Orville and Scout were the resident falcons at this site until two years ago, when Orville hit a vehicle and died, and Scout was killed by the guy with a broom on top of the building.

Elaine L:
Reports indicate that there may be another female around.  The male is there, too.  Durand has been assuming what looks like a defensive posture in the nestbox.  If a female on scene, there could be problems.  As if there was not enough to deal with here.

jadoo:
...was watching for a while this morning, Durand was (again) shading her eggs (somewhat sleepily) when the young male showed up on her ledge - there was some chupping, and a little bit of bowing, but, he's so young, the impression I got was him saying "Can Durand come out and play?"... :P

Elaine L:
Apparently from what I have been reading at BCAW, the eggs are forgotten and these two are on a honeymoon.  It sounds like Durand has gone gaga over the new guy.  Assuming he sticks around, too bad he is not older; that is what is needed at this site.  Durand deserves a lasting relationship, though, so I hope they are both still here next breeding season.  But still, what a shame about the eggs.
