Years of juveniles chewing through and pulling on the cabling has rendered them useless. We hope to have a new cam in place for next season at his original site. His second home is on a private residential building – not sure if they will put in a new cam as sadly some of the residents are not enamored about having birds of prey on their building and their presence there has been highly contencious to say the least.

This is the third bigamous male we’ve had here in Toronto by the way. Must be something in the ‘pigeons’!

We do run updates on the CPF site about Jack at the Etobicoke site – his original home:

I imagine that many lines could be drawn between all the falcons that are being watched. I think that Archer — our resident bigamist — also flirted with his grandmother — our matriarch in Rochester – the great queen — MARIAH! That is, until Beauty arrived on the scene and displaced Mariah. A terrible battle documented on the Rochester falcon site. A Peyton Place or Falcon Crest (or Quest….depending on if you are following our Quest story)

Rochester, Beauty & Archer does have a cam. Here is the link.

Indeed, this is a story book tale for sure and it just keeps getting better. Not sure how many eggs are over at Kodak Park but the egg or eggs will hatch a month or so after Beauty’s eggs. This will give Archer time enough to get a jump on feeding his and Beauty’s eyases before he has to go over there to feed his and Unity’s eyases. Hope he can keep up the pace. :)

Can you tell us at which sites the nests are located, and are there webcams/blogs to go with them?

That’s quite a story. I suppose that means Beauty & Unity know each other exist… but I doubt they sense they’re related to each other.

Last year between the two females he had 5 offspring. This week his alpha female (his original mate) had 3 of her eggs hatch and we’re still waiting on the other site to hatch. He seems to have it timed so there’s about 5-days or so between nests hatching. This is his third year with both females and so far he’s done well. For sure the females do alot of the work especially during fledging but he has been an excellent provider, brings in food constantly to both nests, gives both females long breaks from incubating/kid duties and keeps the skies safe.

The females are both aware of each and both keep to their respective territories ..only Jack and they seem to know where that invisible line is but at no time has either female been ‘upset’ over it or tried to overtake the other. They also both have rushed in to defend him anytime another tiercel has come into the territories looking for a home.
