One thing I like about this story is that it shows that death is not always the outcome of nestsite challenges. I still hope 30/B is out there somewhere safe and sound and every time I read something like this ..it gives me hope.

I too hope that Loree is okay, and also 30/B. And a number of others who are among the missing . . .
Speedy and her siblings in 2003. The little guy in front is George, who fell out of the nest box. Bob Anderson travelled a long way to install a step up to the nest box, so that George could get back in if he fell out again.
Speedy in 2004, when she first arrived at Riverside:

In 2003, Mae, the beloved matriarch of the King Plant, had her last chicks. There were two males, Jay and George, and one female, Speedy.
In 2004, when she was still a juvie, Speedy challenged for the Riverside nest. She lost to the resident female, Mabel. In 2005, 2006 and 2007, she tried again, and lost each time. The last territorial battle was a particularly vicious one.
There have been no sightings of Speedy for some time, but today there is news that she is alive and well! Now six years old, she finally has her own nest site.
From the RRP site:
We got a note from Jackie Fallon of the Raptor Center regarding Speedy...
I thought you would be interested in knowing that a few days ago, the company (Amy's note: Colonnade Building owners) contacted me and told me that there is a new female in residence at the Colonnade building in Golden Valley. The bird has been confirmed to be Speedy, 2003 bird from the King Plant in Bayport. The band is b/g 30/E. There is no information as to what happened to the nesting female Loree, who has nested her for several seasons.
