GCG:
What I saw was this new falcon. I can now see it was not the injured bird in your posted photos. She was in the left front area of the nest. Standing still, facing the camera. At times she appeared to puff up and tail would slowly move up and down. This went on for about five minutes or more, then she hopped onto the ledge, eventually she was gone for a short time. I have never seen an egg being laid so I googled for a video. what I see in this video was similar. IDK ::)

Back in the nest. Hope we will see some eggs soon. This site is impressive with the Chesapeake Bay in the background. Your help is needed is needed, Alison. :)

Please see what I just posted, gemcitygemini.
What was it that you saw at the nest today?

It does look as though she was on the losing end of a battle. :P If she looks this bad and has returned to the nest, I wonder what has happened to her opponent. Are you able to locate a blog anywhere on this link?

I have not seen a blog on this site, gemcitygemini. What I posted were simply my own observations and a few of the photos of Barb after she was injured.
But today, there is not good news. When I was watching the site, I noticed immediately that there was a new female in the nest. Barb has been replaced. :( :(
I would think that this female is probably the one with whom Barb battled almost a week ago. I think the same intruder probably returned, and continued the battle. But with her injuries, I am not sure Barb would have been able to fight. I hope she is not injured somewhere and needing help. I don't see any contact information on the site to report this.
The new female is banded red/silver on the right leg, and black/green on the right.
Here she is with the male:
