Just caught Dot and Matrix on the ledge together, and much bowing was going on, until Matrix suddenly took off.  I do believe this boy is playing hard to get.  It seems to be working, as Dot, once she got over the surprise of his quick departure, ran to the outer edge, looking after him.

I agree Doreen, she seems mighty interested - did you see that run?!? :o

Yep, that was a good run.  :D

Whatever she was saying, she certainly didn't mince words, did she!

Both Durand and Matrix have now been observed on the ledge, together.  The video on the Bird Cams Around the World (BCAW) Site shows Durand on the ledge this morning, and Matrix comes swooping in and lands on the Cam.  She heads straight for him making lots of noise, and I could not tell if she was saying get off of there before I tear you apart, or hello, handsome, where have you been all my life, but, anyway, she continued with this just below the Cam, and he seemed to be listening, so I don't know if she was telling him what she is looking for in a man or what, but shortly thereafter, he revealed that he had a treat for her, and then he took off with it.  I think this piqued her interest.  Later, they are again both on the ledge, so I think they are beginning to establish a routine.

RCF, I enjoyed that video mightily.
He has interesting markings.  Lovely little 'eyebrows' and light markings on the back of his head that remind me not so much of Princess' crown, but more like a poorly grown mullet! 
What a cutie!

He certainly is a cutie!

...i LOVE his legs, he is a real cutie; hopefully he'll stick around, and they can get better acquainted and establish a nice strong bond.  Please no more eggs this year, let's give Durand a rest and let her have some fun with her boy-toy    ;D

He's kind of a skinny fella, isn't he!!
He is certainly that, but mainly due to he is only in his 2nd year. A very young male, I think from reading he was hatched in 2010.
