Bird Cams Around the World

9:43pm- male spending nigh t so far at box. strange that he is
after he arrived, lots of bonding at box

not here very much today. Saw male once and female a few times. strange. maybe trouble. I f weather improves maybe a drive thi s weekend

I am not sure which one this is.......................

that is th e female Sally. I think there is another male around. I have not seen it but male has not been here too much and when he is, he i s very anxious. have also heard kakking

she has a little bit of white above her cere and a heart shape on left tside

here are pictures to Id female by

heart on left side

white above cere

here she is flying up to cam

maybe another female as well. Female came min very agitated just t now. very popular site and is on migration path. Not far from our Pembina river also.
oh man.
I do not like sound I hear in background. I guess I will have to wait to see who comes to box, but hop e no one hurt. was going on for quite a bit and still hear a bit. almost like whimpering now. the plant sound is very loud.
pictures later
edit to say, pictures tomorrow, but male came back and called bu t no on e else appeared. I am hoping got see female tomorrow. I quite like her. guess tomorrow will tell, but I do think a war of females today.
here are two in quick bond

I will be watching. I did see female on perch just after 6am . It was dark but saw the white above cere and heart on left side. So she is ok.

She went up on cam. They will be on guard now
Will post a few pictures so you can see her markings ( will do later)

I posted pictures under Sally's post of ways to Id female

6:40- resicent male was in front and called.
left off front in 2 minutes.

Mmmm hope not nesting where they should not.

Peter and I went out yesterday , will be back with report

Peter and I went out yesterday and Emyrauld graciously said she would watch cam so we could communicate what we were seeing. If we could only get a better watching place.
We only ever saw 2 falcons. Female spent her time on cam or rail and some box time. When she was not there, she soared over the area.
Resident male was on top of stack on opposite side from normal. I am thinking , that is direction other male had come from. We knew who it was as Emyrauld ID him, when he came to box.

Emyrauld saw a mating on cam(shadow) . We missed it, as He moved so quickly, that by the time I got focus on him, he had flown. We found him on other stack on rail.

We stayed a couple of hours.
So let’s hope no more drama and they nest in box. Will post pictures when Peter downloads camera tomorrow.

Thanks Emyrauld for watching the cam

Will try and post some pictures. She was here in and out most of day. Resident male came in also, but someone was in stack and opened window and now . I have not seen them since. I did send a message. Hope they do not decide to not nest in box
