OH / Columbus - Rhodes Tower - 2008-16

[Elaine L]

My gosh, the light show in the nest box in Ohio is unnerving; it looks like the worst lightening storm in history.  At least it does not seem to be bothering our falcon, who we may have to rename Scout the disco queen.

Scout looks like she is laying the 4th egg    or maybe not .  :-\Hope this isn't a false alarm.

[maggieblue]

Weather still rotten today at Columbus, pouring rain.     If Scout is on schedule we might see a fourth egg arrive later this afternoon.  Scout and Orville have certainly been doing everything possible to make that happen.  The ledgecam might need an R rating

Ooohhh, the weather in Columbus isn't that great either from what I saw on the ledgcam...couldn't get onto the nestbox cam  , must be down again due to technical difficulties.

[maggieblue]

Is it just me, or is the focus a little short on the nestbox cam?

And out of curiosity, what's the difference between Scout's and Orville's beak colour?  I admit that I have spent enough time figuring out which is which yet .... 

Scout's beak is quite pale, almost a cream colour.  The distortion on the nestbox cam makes it difficult to identify them when they are facing the cam so the difference in the beak colour helps.

Not just you TPC, I can see it.  They have a new cam system this year and have been having some challenges with it.  One of the problems is a 'strobe' light affect that seems to happen once in awhile...peregrines in disco mode!!

Every time I got a moment to watch the nestbox cam, I only saw two eggs or a Falcon covering them up...so I basically missed the entire event! 
I'm going with everyone else... Orville does have a more yellowish color in the beak (sometimes hard to determine), but I always rely on the size.

Oh that's great!!!  I missed it    I was watching a few times today but didn't see that third egg...  Darn this working for a living  

[maggieblue]

Scout had a third egg late this afternoon sometime.  When I checked in Orville (yellow beak is a dead giveaway )was busy admiring the three and figuring out how to get all three underneath him. 
After another big day Mom was having some me time out on the ledge.

Awe....two little lovebirds!!!  I guess they just wanted to put on a show...
Should we put a rating on some of these threads 

[maggieblue]

So...just watching a peaceful sunset scene with Orville in the scrape ...probably admiring the new egg...and Scout out on the ledge preening in front of the ledgecam... and then.. the lovebirds, as TPC would say, "at it"  in front of the ledge camera.  Then Orville flew off doing some fancy flying.  Love these two.
