Pepple moving time ;)

The King plant mom is really shuffling around and up and down, looking at the eggs and opening her beak (probably talking to the eggs). I think there might be a hatch here very soon. ;D
maggieblue:
In addition to Elk River you might want to watch this one today too as there could be a hatch today. There are 5 eggs and the watch has been on for several days now. :)

2009 NESTING SEASON
The estimated hatch date for this nest was May 13, but so far there is no sign of a hatch.
The falcons at this site are Belinda, band black/green W/E, born 1999 at the Colonnade Building in Minneapolis. In March 2004, Belinda killed Mae, the beloved matriarch of the King Plant, in a territorial battle, and has been the resident female here since then.
The male here is Brent, band black/green W/36, born 2006 at Faith Bluff, Minnesota. Last year the former male, Doug, who had also been Mae's mate, did not return, and Brent arrived. He and Belinda has two babies last year, Ben and Kirby.
This year they have five eggs.
One of the operators at the King Plant provides close-ups from time to time:
