Remember last year how Chase, Lightning and Bullet stared all night at the lights?  Like a deer caught.., was probably said.  Mesmerised.  This bird is looking very used to staring at those lights...

I remember Mom sitting still all night last year, staring out just like this. She's been in the same spot for hours. I think it was raining/snowing a bit earlier, maybe she's hunkering down waiting for the bad weather coming her way and continuing to southern Ontario tomorrow morning. That light is a blessing and a curse, great for us to see into the box at night and bad for them not getting a dark night for rest.

My gosh!
This falcon is seriously still!  Hasn't moved in a very very very very very long time!
Perhaps you're right eagle, dazed by the bright lights  ::)

lol!  I know; I refreshed just to make sure!  She acts like last years bird -- lots of not moving.  I just don't remember that beautiful plumage.  (No MP, plz!  lol)

I think these are the same falcons, but I'm not certain of that.
I'm glad it's not just me Liz, this falcon has been in this position for a very very very long time and just staring out into the distance.  I've been watching for 30 mins. and this one has not moved!

Hey, look at the distinct lines of colour on this bird.  I don't remember that from last year.  Does anyone else, or is this a different PF?

She definitely ate.  So it's the time between Braxton-Hicks and real labour?   :) :) ;D
