AB / Warburg - Genesee Plant - 2009-18

[RCF]

Adult showed up briefly.  Don't see a transmitter so it must be the female.  

[RCF]

Thanks for all the photo's bev.    Must be falcons flying around near the box, cause they seem to be calling and watching something.

[bev.]

The one in front is priceless.
I hope this works also.

Now he is lying down.

I wonder if he will let an adult in

[Shocka88]

Thanks Bev for all your info.......hope everything works out. I'm sure the biologist knows what he is doing.

[RCF]

The one in front seems to be the lookout for the other two. 

[bev.]

did you see those wings. He is saying ,if you do not come here ,I am going home.

 

[bev.]

they wil have a the breeder look and see if they are viable. Any that are will be incubated and hatched out.

Do not worry, the biologist here is all about the survival of falcons and does whatever he can to help them. this was not a good situation and they are hoping they will take to the chicks and raise them. they are older so can be awhile without adults.

[bev.]

here are some shots of  the front one looking down. and the last one ,they all look scared

 

 

[RCF]

Thanks bev, But what happens to the removed eggs?

[bev.]

they are removing the eggs at other nest . I t is not safe. If chicks hatched they would be sucked up the vent.
when I can tell you more, you know I will

Let us hoe this works. Gord knows what he is doing.

[RCF]

Did they have eggs at the other nest?

[bev.]

they are bigger than what I thought.

 

Now hopefully the adults come after the threat is gone. It is still around

[bev.]

next

 

 

[bev.]

I am her with pictures.  these chicks are fostered in today and I will observe the rest of day to see if adults  accept them.  the quail if food for adults to feed.

The TR male was there briefly at 12:09 and the female was in there last night for a few seconds so they are around.  they will want to make sure it is safe so now I wait.

first few shots

Oh, I sure hope the adults are o.k. with this sudden family of three!  No sign of them yet, but I think it is very likely, from what I saw at Genesee last weekend, that they are very close by, and watching carefully to make sure the humans do not return.  If they accept the chicks, that would be thrilling!

Thanks Elaine, that is reassuring!
