The Battle for Omaha
In late February, the news that the long-time resident male Peregrine Falcon at the Capitol was spotted at the nestbox up at the Woodmen Building in downtown Omaha was shared on this blog. In an expanded article in the Lincoln Journal Star, I noted that Peregrine Falcons will battle over breeding territories, even to the death. We often do not see the battles, but if you needed evidence they occur, check out this YouTube video captured by Carolyn Evans from the Woodmen Falconcam on 7 March.

We received news today from our partners at the Woodmen Building that a new male Peregrine Falcon was spotted at the nestbox in downtown Omaha. The shocking news was the band combination was very familiar, black over green and the letters 19/K. This alphanumeric band belongs to the male Peregrine Falcon that has been one half of the nesting pair present at the Nebraska Capitol since 2005!

The storm at Lincoln went through here also. They had golf ball sized hail and wind gusts up to 100mph. I can't see any chicks in the box but they have archived video. I checked that and between 6 and 7 am you could hear chicks yelling, so that's good news. Three were in the box last night and one was outside the box on the ledge. Just hoping for the best here.
