Kathy Reports:

Just a few minutes ago myself and several others from the BCAW Falcon board were finally able to clearly see the bands on the new female that has been making herself at home in Columbus, Ohio!  She was spotted a few months back by Chad & Chris in Ohio so luckily I still had her information at hand.

Black 32 over Black X banded Pefa was produced at the Hamilton Sheraton hotel nest site last year in 2009, banded on June 2nd as a female at approx. 26 days old, weighing 1014 grams (empty crop) and was named Durand.

Her parents were Madam X and Surge - (Surge was hatched and produced at the Etobicoke - Bloor and Islington (Sun Life Centre) nest site in 2002.

...blended falcon family? 

Now wouldn't that be interesting?!

I was reading BCAW forum, they think the new female has a juvie of her own.  So there may be four falcons at the site.

The only way to be sure if there are four, is a web cam capture.......so who knows, anything is possible.

New female in the picture again

Oh, this is good news. Hope things work out!

...nice to hear there is yet another female possibly in the picture - these birds do NOT let the grass grow under their feet;  just looking at the ledge cam, and there is somebody sitting in front of the nest box, but too far away to ID - and now they've headed into the nest...

[sami]

Doesn't take long - there must be a number of unattached females around there, just waiting their chance.

I'd encourage all to read Donna Daniel's blog on this whole series of incidents.....it's available through a link on the webcam page.  

Thanks for the pointer, Pam -- I just had an opportunity to read a few of Donna's entries and completely agree with you -- it's definitely well worth reading.

Thanks, Pam, just read through and saw today's note:

July 9 - Update on Spirit

Continuing good news on Spirit – I received a report that two falcons were soaring above the Rhodes Tower yesterday at about 2:30 in the afternoon. Spirit is really getting the hang of flying and gaining a lot of altitude in the process.

Update on Scout – many may have seen the recent reports in the media that the ODNR, Division of Wildlife and the US Fish & Wildlife Service are investigating the circumstances of Scout’s death. As this is an on-going investigation I cannot comment at this time. However I can say that progress is being made in the investigation and we hope to have the matter resolved quickly.
