From Audubon Dakota's Blog   3/30/2016

Positive ID for this year's pair

THE PAIR'S ARRIVAL

are happy to confirm that this season sees the return of the same pair of birds who nested here last year.  

Early last week, a viewer caught a glimpse of a different male bird at the nest box.  This bird was actually a male that hatched in Grand Forks, ND in 2012.  More than likely, this bird was merely stopping off on its way back to the region.

A few days later, the same male who has been in Fargo for the last several years reappeared.  He was positively identified by his leg band *C/7.

According to the chat on the cam page, Annie and Miracle were seen mating on the camera arm, must be someone who watches from the ground.  ;D

Also Audubon Dakota posted on the chat that they haven't seen Walsh, since someone reported seeing him here last week. He was likely stopping off on his way further north.

Thank you for the update on the Fargo nest site. I don't do Livestream, but I had seen a video of the birds. I knew Miracle was back, but I had also noticed that the male was not Annie.

I hope Annie will return, but at the same time it is good to know that Walsh from Grand Forks has turned up. I wonder where he has been since 2012?

Nice to see the cam operating - there was a real chance it wouldn't be this year due to differences between the partner groups.

Also nice to see another grandkid turn up on a nestsite.  It Terminator returns to Grand Forks and supplants Bristol and Annie returns to Fargo and supplants Walsh, ND will have another potential pair in the wings ...

I found out that the male is a 2012 hatch from UND Water Tower Grand Forks Campus, Grand Forks, ND. His name is Walsh.  :)
