Poor Hurricane, I think she has a biting fly or mosquitoes bugging her in the nest box. One of the advantages of having a bit of breeze in a nestbox ... she is really really irritated by the little pest.

Is this unusual, to have so many flies/mosquitos hanging around the nestbox? ??? I haven't noticed such a problem, when viewing the Radisson webcam, or other webcams, for that matter. Is this perhaps because there has been so much rain and there may be lots of standing water in or around the nestbox, making a great breeding ground for mosquitos? Or is it because of all of the decaying "leftovers" in the nestbox?
BirdLover:
I feel so bad for these poor birds. I had to turn the cam off this morning. I just couldn't watch them fight those gnats.
I guess we never had to see that part of the nest before we had the cam. Never even thought of how annoying those pests could be. >:(

If the falcons seemed a little disturbed earlier, there is a crew of men putting asphalt on the parking lot between the McKenzie building and the bank next door.

I was down at the McKenzie site at 11:45 am today, apparently right after a feeding. Rose sent me a few screen captures from then.
