After 5 solid hours of watching the live-streaming camera on top of the Mayo Building in Rochester, guess who decides to finally show up? ORTON! It's been a week since we confirmed one of the falcons at the nest box, and I have to say I did a little happy dance when I saw him appear yesterday morning.

As I mentioned a few days ago, the pair Hattie and Orton have been spending less time than usual at the box during a time of year when I typically observe them stopping in numerous times a day. There could be many reasons why, which only the falcons know the answer.

During the courtship phase of falcon nesting, it is the male who tries to lure the female into his territory, but it is the female who decides the exact location in the territory that the pair will use for raising their young. In urban locations, such as Rochester where there are a variety of tall buildings to choose from, it is not uncommon for a pair to change locations. There are many influences on the location change, but only the falcons themselves know why the change may happen.

I'm encouraged by Orton's behavior at the box, but it would be nice to see Hattie show up a little bit more often. Again, nature is nature, and survives by its own rules and not ours. I'll share more updates when I have anything to share. Until then, stay tuned and have a great week everyone! Jackie
