Wonderful to see these two together. :) I wonder when we will see eggs.
I see that the mystery of the dark blob has been revealed on the blog. Turns out it is a curved grate that covers a drain for the ledge. Whew! Now we don't have to worry anymore that it might be a dead bird.

Mom and dad both in the nestbox this morning. Dad found something to eat in there, but instead of eating it himself, he fed it to mom - maybe this is some kind of bonding, or mating ritual. Anyway, mom is alone in the box now doing some housekeeping, and dad has decided to retreat to the yard, so to speak.

Mom is in the nestbox touching up the nest.!

About that black thing at the back of the ledge...after the camera change I was worried about what it might be, but then I remembered that a corner of it had been visible for months with the previous camera angle. The new camera appears to be further back. When the woman (biologist Donna Daniels I presume) and the fellow were on the ledge the other day they would have been walking around it and therefore I am thinking it must be some permanent fixture. The new camera views are pretty disappointing so far. Lets hope that they can get the fine tuning done soon.

So I just checked out Columbus at sunset and there were people on the ledge and WHOOPIE they have the nestcam working! Big cheer! Donna Daniels, the biologist, had noted that there could be eggs as soon as mid March so there was concern that if the nest cam problems were not resolved soon we would miss the whole nest cam view for the year.
Also, I hope that some of you were watching shortly after 1 pm on Sunday. Both Scout and Orville made a high speed landing on the ledge in front of the nestbox, ee-chupping (sp?) wildly. They hopped into the scrape but a few seconds later Orville came out again and launched off the ledge. Huh? I thought. What was that all about? and then I saw this bird, could only have been Orville, making incredibly high speed passes by the ledge, up , down, around, and a loop through the ledge space for a finale. :o Wow! I really envy the people who see these events live and have the whole view. 8)
