I think it's here. Thought I could see the purple band on the left leg.
4 seconds into your video I had a chuckle. Indy-Froona is bowing and (no doubt) quacking and the male is looking to the sealing. As if he is totally NOT interested . . . :lol:

I noticed that too...it was too funny!!! I got the impression that he was thinking, "what the heck is going on here..and who are you!"...and then he did get in the box with her!!!

Thanks for the video & pics! I couldn't say for sure that it was Indy Froona, but the resident female doesn't have bands & this one definitely does! :blow:

I have been watching the recorded time lapse video's from 11.00 until 13.00 hours.
It looks to me that this female has been in a fight, she is doing some serious preening and a lot of downy feathers end up on the ledge.
Also some on her head and some sticking out on her back.
She has a lot of black spots on her front side. I couldn't get a clear view of the colour of the band on the left leg.
Was the female that nested here last season banded?

EDIT: I see you answered my question before I posted it Nancy :lol:

Gee, I hope the resident female here is OK--she was such a good mom this past season. I did notice the downy feathers & thought that maybe they were from Froona molting into her adult feathers. Not sure that makes sense as this point in time, though. :-?

I'm not familiar with these nests, but with IndyFroona in the area, of course, I'm drawn here. I am so very sorry to hear that there might have been a take-over and a battle. My heart goes out to those of you who know and love the residents here. I wish there were enough nests to go around for everyone! Kittenface, you do a fabulous job of reporting sightings at these sites.

I agree.

I don't know if I like the looks of this
There are no bands on this one from what I can see

Keep us posted Kitten. Could this be the unbanded female from 2010? Maybe IndyFroona has moved on....

Oh for sure I'm loading a few things right now to see if I can see anything.
Let you know soon

Could it have been the male and his bands not clearly visible?

I just went throught the 6 am-2 pm archives...I'll see if I can isolate some of the shots...

From the 7 am archive:

From the 10 am archive:

Also, there were a few times when you could see that "someone" was sitting to the left just out of cam view...I would see a wing every now and then...

edit: oops...I just noticed I have my 10 am's out of order...sorry...

I guess what I'm hoping is that Froona decides to go back to Port Washington (where there isn't a resident female) & that they upgrade that cam to be as good as this one! That's not asking much, is it? :cool:
