Ardys unbanded gf returned just before dawn.
They did the falcon dance.

The LAST day of March
Tomorrow is April Fools Day.
Somehow that is SOOOO appropriate this year!
SNOW at GSB!

Ardy has a new gf - wonderful -
but another 2 year old.
Will she give him eggs, young?
At least he has a companion.

Elaine laid her 3rd egg at GSB
So now GSB has 2 eggs.
confused? ... get in line!   ;D

6 am  Lady Lax arrived to meet Ardy, but fell between outer perch and nestbox. 

She cam right back for their 'dance'

I will be watching for her to lay an egg.

There was a tussel between 2 birds inside box - not a fight . . . exactly.

I dunno if there is another female or what.

Terka on bcaw got the band, it was Elaine tusseling with Lady Lax.

He's trying.  He does get her in the nest box and bows a lot, but it's like she has no idea.  Maybe needs another year on her like Elaine did last year?


He left for a while, but she stayed there.


He came back to try again..

Around 9 AM Ardy was calling and she flew in!!


There were several rounds of bowing and her going to the lip of the nest box before he left..........






BUT!!  The last time after he left she went out on the perch and he came back!!!!  :-*
