My first post on this forum—so happy this cam is live!

Question—I’m looking for the 2019 discussion thread because I cannot remember what we called the new female last year. I have pic from 2019 that shows her band (taken 3/19). Not yet sure how to post pic will read instructions.

I remembered what we called her last year—Tawny for her plumage.

Thank you Beth and Nancy. :)

I recorded a dramatic moment with mom pulling one chick farther from ledge. Later they were fed and seem fine. Wow!

Well, isn't this a nice surprise!! Andy, who put a computer up for us, turned it off in the winter and I thought that might be it. Bryan has been talking to the bridge tender but because of the virus was not able to go up. This is the same female, who is now actually breeding age. We don't have a name for her but we need one, also for the Richmond pair. I will be back home Monday and work on this project.

:clap:

I just checked, she was banded in Assateague in Maryland during migration, not by CCB, so she only has a federal band. I will download the 2019 CCB falcon report to the background page next week.

Hi Barb! Thank you :eggthumb:

There's only one eating--the other 2 are stuffed!

Now they're hungry. The one that just ate wants to crawl under Mom--must be cold.

Mom was scared by a person around the scrape today. I haven’t figured out yet how to post pics. She returned a couple of times, as did JJ with prey at 7:45pm, but as of 9:30pm she is not back brooding. I’m worried.

obxbarb · **Posted:** Mon May 11, 2020 9:43 pm

Really, I saw her on them late this afternoon. I had the cam up when the guys opened the door, what idiots. I did report it to Bryan.

Thanks so much, she’s not visible on cam now though she may be nearby.

I just sent him a note again and a photo. They are not really old enough for this cold , but hopefully will be ok. Those guys should not have been up there.
