Yes on of the eggs was cracked, photos on Imprints so Beauty removed it.  BTW Quest was down in Maine again after the Port Colbourne incident so she was obviously just passing through.

3 eggs now. reported after 8 this morning

Egg #2 in the wee hours of this morning. I will try and get some pcitures but am very busy.

things seem calm at the moment.

I am thinking not Mariah as she was not interested in this box last year. she kept going back to the tower.
Even after her release she went back to tower. But jsut when yu think you know them

Hopefully whoever it was, got the message because with Beauty egg laden, she is no match . I think that is why Archer helped out.

Hopefully calm waters now. Such beautiful birds and a grandchild for Mariah.

Beauty just laid her first egg!!!!!    And there were 3 falcons at the nestbox someone said and war has ensued???

Okay someone is back with the egg...phew.

If it is Mariah, she's had more time to build up her reserves than Beauty.  Even having been injured last year and recouperating, she didn't have to expend resources producing and raising young.  If it is Mariah, she could take Beauty despite the differences in ages ...

Watchers are reporting another Female in the territory the past 2 days with confrontations between Beauty and unknown female.  Hoping it's not Mariah!

Woohoooooooooooooo!  Watchers have just confirmed that Archer is BACK!!  He was ID'd today with Beauty in the nest box bowing to each other!!  Yay!!!  

[carly]

Well maybe not.  No sign of Archer at all in months and that new male is gone.  He might have been part of a migrating pair that was seen around the area.  BEauty is being spotted on her own buzzing around but once again...seems to be no males around as of yet.

Maybe Mariah is heading them off at the pass somewhere..lol

Drama, drama, drama at the Kodak Tower!  Should be one exciting year!

Two falcons sighted here today and one of them isn't Archer!  This sure is a popular site!!!

I can't wait! 
Mariah...just be smart now okay. 

[carly]

Yes I expect it will be!  Archer is suspected to have migrated for the winter as he hasn't been seen for a few months now.  They did spend alot of time bonding at the nest box before he left.  Let's hope he has migrated and not vanished like Kaver!  But I guess we won't know for a few more weeks!
