I saw a falcon here this morning. It has no bands and I don't know if it's going to hang around or this was a pit stop.

Video - Four falcon chicks hatch in Glasgow university tower
Four peregrine falcon chicks have hatched in a tower at the University of Glasgow. Conservation group the Glasgow Peregrine Project noted the new arrivals last week at the Gilbert Scott Tower. The group's bird recorder John Simpson told BBC Scotland News that the hatching was "fantastic".
The birds of prey have nested at the university for around two decades and in 2023, a CCTV camera was installed in a bird nesting box there to enable greater observation of the birds.
Mr Simpson said: "The male is bringing them plenty of food since they hatched. He seems a very modern man, as he is splitting incubation duties with the female as well as killing pigeons.
"This particular pair dominate the city, and we might see more peregrines doing this as things change, and peregrines urbanise more and more.
"The first egg had a large spot on it, so it was easy to know which one it was, although it was the last one to hatch."
The Glasgow Peregrine Project is led by the Scottish Ornithologists’ Club, the University of Glasgow and the RSPB, with support from a number of other groups.
Mr Simpson feels the collaboration has proved helpful in helping to learn more about the falcons and their behaviour.
Members of the project hope to abseil down the tower later this year to lift the chicks out and fit them with electronic tags that will enable monitoring of their movements.
Mr Simpson added: "With the identification tags we can see where they have gone, how high they fly and other information that would be really useful."
In recent years the group have held peregrine watches at the university, allowing people to see the birds in their nest.

from a ND contact
Unfortunately, earlier today another female named Lisa was at the Great Spirit Bluff nest site. Lisa was banded in Kenosha, WI, in 2018. Julie showed up later in the day. Apparently, both Julie and Lisa were at the nest site in fall 2023. We will have to see what happens. I am pulling for Julie.

A female named Julie, is on territory at the Great Spirit Bluff nest near La Crescent, MN. Julie is the daughter of Eve and an unbanded male, and the granddaughter of Terminator and Roosevelt. Eve was banded in Grand Forks in 2011. Julie was hatched at the Ford Parkway Bridge nest in Minneapolis in 2019. I know it’s early, but I am rooting for Julie to hold the territory at the Great Spirit Bluff nest site. An unbanded male named Newman is also on territory at the nest site.

Sorry bally
Noooooo!
But, this is nature. We must remember that they are wildlife and wildlife have survived for centuries and will continue to do so without manmade nests. Thanks for this update and photo TPC!

Ah! A challenge
Right…so add the first word to the other word, which equals a word, then carry the 1 to add to the second word, to then multiply that to one word, and you get:
Excellent news so eggs soon!
