2021 NESTING SEASON

Looks like new birds here this year ...

Male = Wilma - and yes, I checked that out, bird was banded as a female but obviously not 
Female = unnamed female

They had three chicks, which apparently weren't named.  1 male chick and 2 female chicks.

Haven't found any news stories on the pair, chicks or nest.  Maybe not surprising given it was the middle of the pandemic.

Thank you for the family tree, TPC. I am always interested in the ancestry of the birds.

I am not sure which of the three visiting males has taken this nest. It is very sad that Triumph has not returned. I did not see any reports or photos of Triumph in San Antonio this past winter, so I had been wondering if something had happened to him on his way south.

I read that "last year's female" had returned to the Multifoods nest, so that would be Genie.

Today, the first egg was laid:

I didn't know where else to put this.

New male at the Multifoods tower, Minneapolis. This is a 2 year old male that fledged from Grand Forks, North Dakota. 

The band number looks to be black/red H/78 or 79.

Looking at the photo the band number is black over red H over 79 which makes this bird Chan a 2017 wild hatch from Grand Forks.  Here's family tree as far back as we can go.

April 1:

The Minnesota field team has had a busy three days, so stay tuned for a full report later on tonight, but until then we hope you enjoy this video of yet the Third male to show up at 33 South 6th Street / multifoods Tower in Minneapolis. He was really going to town trying to get the female to come off a neighboring building and join him in the Box.

A third male??

The resident male, Triumph (banded black/red 58/P), has not yet returned to his nest at Multifoods, but another male has arrived. There is still time for Triumph to return, and I hope he will.

As of March 20:

At the Multifood Tower nest box high above downtown Minneapolis, the identity of the tierce has been verified to be 5-year old "Morse", who is new to this site. Only time will tell if the usual resident male, "Triumph" will return and try to reclaim this top-notch territory. The female has yet to be identified.

Morse, born at the City Hall Minneapolis nest in 2014, is banded black/red N/45. His father is Bor, banded black/green 03/N, born at the Monticello Plant nest in 2003, and his mother is Dot, banded black/green M/56, born in 2007 at the Black Dog nest site.

2019 NESTING SEASON

The cameras are now back online. I hope Triumph and Genie will both return this year.

Moments ago, someone on the deck:

Triumph and Genie have three chicks this year, and today the chicks were banded. All three are male.

Triumph with his chicks:



Genie (or Geanie, according to today's spelling); she is gorgeous.

It has now been confirmed by Jackie Fallon that Triumph and Genie are still the resident pair.

They are incubating four eggs.

[Alison]

Hey Alison - do we know if Younger & his unbanded mate are back here again this year? 
Now that they have an egg, hopefully the parents have shown enough leg for their identities to have been confirmed ... maybe ... hopefully ?

TPC, I think you meant to ask if Triumph and Genie are back this year?

Younger was found dead in Minneapolis on March 17 of 2016. His injuries were consistent with having been in a territorial battle.

I did ask about this on another site when the first egg was laid, but have not heard anything back so far. Not enough resolution to be able to see or read bands on the webcam at this stage.

Younger and his unbanded mate were also the resident pair in 2014 and 2015.
