Falcon is in the nestbox right now, looking around, but I don't think it is Durand - it is banded on both legs, and I don't think she is banded on both legs.

Moonstar:
Just checked the camera. The ledge cam showed a falcon sitting on the nest camera. When I looked at the nest cam the eggs are in a different position from the last time I looked.

...whew...as the world turns here...(as the falcon stoops?)...
jadoo:
...just as well they didn't, though, since if there is a new young male there, then the other young male (Chance? Flyboy?) is probably gone, and I'd hate to see two extremely inexperienced young falcons try to raise fledgelings, especially if you don't know if the new male would accept them, or if Durand would accept a new male while there are young in the nest (remember, Trooper wouldn't have anything to do with the first new female (Clementine?) while he was still raising whichever chick he was raising (Spirit??) - there's been such a high turnover of falcons at this site, which is why I'd MUCH rather see Durand take up with an older male, who may actually have some experience at this, than whoever has shown up this time... :-\
