Miep-VieVie (aka VieVie, VV) - resident female
Pa - former resident male ? no bands?
1R - aka One Ring? - food-stealing, chick-ignoring interloper?
2O - ??
VM - new resident male? food-feeding, chick-loving interloper? ;)
thanks for helping clear up the players ;D

2O and 1R are the same bird. He originally had two bands but one has come off and the number on the band was 2O. VM I believe is short for visiting male. :)

I automatically assumed this to be 1R returning after having been dive bombed. Although, while he sat quietly sleeping it definitely reminded me of the way VM used to sit in that same spot at night (with his back to us).
Now in the daylight people were noticing he appeared darker than 1R and began watching for a leg band. Since no band was spotted it is believed this falcon who returned is VM.
There is a new movie to view on BDL (by Aaltje) called “VM back”

I noticed as well - thought it was weird that 1R was in the nestbox - just thought he was resting out of harm's way.
Guess VM is back - not off to a great start though as he is also stealing food from Miep/VV. Talk about a stressful situation for Momma bird.
All she wants to do is feed her chicks, but her mate(s) want to be fed first, and will do anything to take her hard work away.
