Friday April 10th
Hi everyone, this is what is happening here as of Tuesday morning April 7th.
After we heard about the tragic news of Storm, we wondered what the heck we could do to help insure a successful hatch. So we started really taking a close look at the sky to see if there was a new male active here or Caspian was alone. We did find a male Peregrine on site that looked different than our resident male Stormin. This new male peregrine is indeed much darker on the breast area, so I concluded that it was an immature bird, which made me wonder if that was possible. Well after some close observations and a few decent photos, we can say: yes there is a young male peregrine now on site.
On Thursday April 9th, early in the day, a male peregrine was observed bringing food to the very top elevation above the nest ledge, and a few minutes later, a female peregrine was feeding on it.
Today, Friday April 10th , all that seems to be visible is, one female peregrine, observed chasing the smaller male peregrine, and then he is later observed seen chasing her, while all this time though…no one is sitting on the eggs.
Sadly, I cannot really comment with any certainty about what it going on here other than the indicated observations.
Will update as news develops.
Two pictures attached showing these events.
