Freedom and Roosevelt reaffirming their bond                       I love the wistful expression on Freedom's face after Roosevelt left

Freedom and Roosevelt both spent time at the nest today.

Roosevelt was there earlier:
 

Then Freedom, looking just a touch cranky.  "Get away from me, I'm moulting":

I hope Freedom and Roosevelt have eggs next year!!!! 

[Alison]

Maybe next year - they are such a great pair.

Roosevelt was back again today:

I was wondering what happened at this site this year. I watched for eggs but eventually got caught up in all the other action around the world. Thanks for posting this.

No eggs this year for these two lovebirds,  it would have been wonderful if these 2 could have at least fostered this year as they are the greatest of parents, maybe next year if they can't have their own they might be able to foster there are 2 of the most wonderful people that watch this pair like a hawk and always have,maybe they can get the ball rolling to get them as foster parents next yr

Oh Mr. Roosevelt, you're one beautiful tiercel!

[Alison]

Freedom and Roosevelt did not have eggs this year, but their bond is as strong as ever.

Roosevelt looking very handsome this evening:

All those years together, the love and bond is still so strong!  Again, falcons amaze me more and more every day!

Wow..that is really nice that after all this time they are still together and caring for each other.  I love to hear stories like this of long time pairs that are still together.   I look at Rachel and Hunter and how long they've been together with no successful nests- I know their situation is different- but I like that they don't desert each other.  I will keep hoping for this pair, maybe they are just enjoying a well deserved break after years of having kids in the house
