FalconCam Project: Xavier Claims Squatter Rights on Eggs 🥚🥚🥚 2024 Sep 15

Xavier's first turn on the eggs was all too brief, so when he secured a second turn, he held fast and did not move when Diamond returned. This time he won.

Wow when she left, the look on his sweet brown face was one of disbelief! Xav gets my vote for Bestest Falcon Daddy of the year award! With all of the fire carnage in my home state Xav and you make my heart feel so much better, Merci Beaucoup with xoxo's

A rare X win there with D giving up, lol. Reminds me of Annie and Archie at some point a few months ago when Archie argued for a good 10 minutes and kept the eggs. 😅

Even though Diamond may have been pretending to sleep in the hopes that Xavier would leave her alone but his persistence paid off 😂😁❤️❤️🐦🐦

Patience is a virtue and those who wait patiently are greatly rewarded.
Xavier certainly waited for his turn incubating, although patience was probably wearing thin. He was like a kid in a sweet shop when it finally happened😂
Thank you SK from UK 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

X is the best. He tries every trick in the book, and his love for D, his eggies, and chicks, is amazing. He is so endearing. Well done X, you did it, and even he was in disbelief, lol. Thanks SKH❤

@LeicesterRose- well said!! Ha! Liz ❤️

[@edwardizhonig204]

I don’t know who was more excited at the end - Xavier or me! What a wonderful falcon dad! What a beautiful couple and fascinating look at an intimate exchange in their life! As always, thank you SKH!! ❤️

[@LeicesterRose]

Hi Liz, he’s definitely the best falcon daddy. Just love him. Hope your weekend was peaceful.❤

[@edwardizhonig204]

@LeicesterRose- So nice to hear from you! He’s irresistible! Aren’t they all though? Hope you’re feeling well! Enjoy bird watching!! Your friend, Liz 🥰

@@edwardizhonig204 Hi Liz, I am feeling so much better, thank you. I love all the birds we watch, and so appreciate these webcams, allowing us a peek into a, previously unseen area, of their lives. But, must confess, X has won a very special place in my heart.
Enjoy all our beloved bird families, have a great day, and most blessed week, your friend, Sue ❤️

[@edwardizhonig204]

@LeicesterRose- most importantly I am so happy to hear you’re feeling better!! I have been praying my friend!! It’s funny how there’s always someone or a special couple that pulls at our heart strings! I think I have a few including of course Jackie and Shadow for whom I continue to pray as they endure the terrible situation at Great Bear- but I have faith ! Have a blessed week and continue to stay well !! Always, Liz 🙏❤️🥰

Dear Xavier: I know how much you LOVE the eggies, but I think Mama Di would appreciate it if you waited until at least dawn to awaken her and it would be nice if you brought her a prey gift. I'm sure that would get her off the nest PDQ. Much love and luck from a friend in California.
Thanks for the video, SKH--I've certainly never seen a tiercel quite as eager as our Xavier!

[@springbird8479]

He's so much fun to watch, he loves his eggies ❤

[@kazbutler]

Xavier’s exits are always so theatrical.
