MN / Elk River - 2008-22
maggieblue:
There is an adult at the nestbox again at Elk River but I don't know these birds well enough to tell which one it is. :-\ I hope that it isn't the female from last year back again.
bev.:
This will be a hard call. I the female had a positive nest site this year you would think she would go back there next year.
She is maybe just visiting on her way through to migration. @0 miles is a long ways apart so that should not cause territorial battles. Our nest sites are much closer than that in Edmonton.
Keep your fingers crossed.
Alison:
The falcons I posted pics of yesterday is 30/B. I wasn't sure at the time, because I couldn't see her feet, but I've seen other pics since and it is her. I hope she and the current female will not have any confrontations, either now or in the spring. The two nests are about twenty miles apart by road, less by falcon. The Sherco nest is in the small town of Becker, MN, while the Great River nest is in Elk River. Both towns are north and west of Minneapolis/St. Paul, in the general direction of St. Cloud, along the east bank of the Mississippi. Twenty miles would seem to be far enough apart to avoid territorial battles - I hope!

:) I just saw a falcon drop by for a short visit (about 20 seconds). Made a few short chups flying in, sat on the outer ledge and then quietly flew off. It definitely did not look like the same falcon in the pictures that Alison posted yesterday. It was longer, skinnier and had all its talons. For sure there are more than 1 of them still around. ;D ;D
JL:
There's a falcon on the ledge right now chuping. :) It looks nice and sunny but the wind is blowing pretty hard!
