Thanks, Bev. Is that blood on her talon or just a shadow effect?
bev.:
I was watching this and did a slideshow. this is typical. At least that is how it was at Edmonton. the intruder feels things out and the defending female goes to box first. when Radison came she was on top of the box while Miss Balzac was in inside.
Season is young and I hope Scout gets male soon.
A few picutres of when Scout came back

Thanks, Carly, for the link. I went back to KittenFace's videos and was surprised to see how long the other falcon was on the ledge, while scout was in the nestbox, before Scout came out to defend and chase away. Those videos were on page 9 of the link you sent.

SGB has made a slide show (from kittenface's video) of Scout defending her ledge against a female intruder today. Link to BCAW post and scroll to her 'slideshow', really well done!

ps: There are no disturbing/gorry images on the slide show - for those who may be worried. I know I like to be warned about those types of things.

From the Columbus Blog Site:
March 05 - Cam seems to be acting up...
Still no evidence of a male but Scout has been pretty active this week. There has been several times she has been vocalizing and taking flight from the ledge in what seems like an urgent manner only to come back quickly and leave again. This seems to indicate another falcon in the area but since there's been no sign of another bird on the ledge it could likely be that she is defending the territory from another female that may be around. The cams show us so much more than we'd ever have the chance to see but there's a lot that they DON'T show, too! A reminder that the cams are no substitute for eyewitness observations.
Meanwhile, the cams have been acting funny. Oh, how frustrating! The nestbox cam in particular was flashing a plain blue screen. The blue screen is usually a result of the video feed being interrupted. My theory is perhaps there is some work being done in the building that is jiggling a cable and causing a break in connection. The nestbox is also now markedly pink-toned for no apparent reason. We're in the process of troubleshooting and hope to make some adjustments to camera settings next week. Thanks for your patience
