MN / Elk River - 2008-22
Alison:
One adult was at the nest this afternoon. I thought the female at this nest was the same one as last year, but according to the Raptor Resource banding report for 2008, she is new.
"Last year’s female, 30/B, nested at Sherco this year, so the female here is new. Interestingly, 30/B tried nesting at Sherco last year, but moved to GRE after her box was destroyed by lightning."
A new nest box was installed at Sherco, and last year's Great River female, 30/B, returned to her former nest site. She and her mate had four babies, three females and one male.
I didn't know the names or band number of the chicks at Great River until I read the banding report. The chicks banded were two males and one female. The female, band R/29 b/g, was named Lightning; the first male, band B/89 b/g, was named Bullet; and the second male, band B/90 b/g, was named Chase.
LouLouBelle:
thanks for those pics Alison. Mom looks healthy and well. Great to see her. ;D
Alison:
One of the parents visited the nest box this afternoon. I think it's Mom.

Falcon alert. Mom is in the nestbox. The sound isn't working again however she is opening and closing her beak like she is vocalizing. Perhaps calling for Dad to come by for some bonding 8)

The parents migrate first then the juvies will migrate a week or two after.
