A favorite!

How could I have forgotten to tell ya the good news? Every year I have shared my story about the male who fractured his keel in the middle of the season, spent a month in rehab leaving his mate to care for three chicks alone and then when I released him, she attacked him and would not let him near the nest tho he co tinually tried to bring food for his offspring. They reconnected the following year as if nothing happened. He quickly became one of my favorite males with his devotion to his chicks and his steadfastness. Well on Tuesday he was waiting on his nest to greet me!!! I was so happy to see him! He is a rockstar! And he is always an early return!
