Tower Nest - 2012 / ? & ?
RCF:
I went back around lunch time today and there were two falcons, each on a different tower. One of them flew to the north and went into an opening in the wall that cables are coming out, sat and preened then lay down.
RCF:
This morning (9:30) I saw a falcon in the same place as I did on June 27th. I saw it fly in and land.

If this is the same bird, s/he's sure logging a lot of miles.

Funny how that is, TPC and Dennis said they didn't see any falcons at the tower yesterday morning.

It was brutally windy out there yesterday so we weren't all the optimistic of seeing them yesterday though we did try. Hard to keep binoculars steady and certainly couldn't use Wowzer or the spotting scopes we brought with us. That much wind we thought the birds would probably tuck down somewhere so we tried to check out every sheltered spot we could find, but no luck. The keep getting spotted near the raven's nest and if they do have eggs and are incubating, we figured whoever was "on duty" would be flat down in the nest which again would make them impossible to see. Not sure they will nest as it is so very late in the year - if they were incubating now, their chicks wouldn't fledge until mid-September would make it tough for them come migration. But you can never be sure so we'll keep looking and watching.
