Willow. CBNum: R/73. FID: 1687-21331. F

Banders were Bob Anderson, Chuck, Jim Larson, and Amy Ries. Children from a local grade school named the falcons. I like both names, although 'Winger' is my favorite.

Husker was her usual ferocious self. She nailed Chuck in the head while he was counting barges. Ouch! He is okay, and has an interesting story to tell about the encounter.

The top of a working grain elevator is an interesting place to be. The noise is incredible - all the grain from farmfields for miles around is concentrated here, where it is loaded on to barges and sent down the Mississippi.

The chicks had a good meal:

 

Alison:
Still two chicks for Husker and her mate. This afternoon, the chicks were hungry, and Husker had no food for them. A little later, the male arrived with food.

WOO HOO!!!!! and so cute!  I love how the adults look proudly at their newly born chicks!  They also do the same when eggs are laid.  It's wonderful! 

Mate needs a name!!
