From bev on bcaw Apr 3

Now who's THAT?  Looks like U/??  So it wasn't Poppy I saw..........

[shep]

Someone contact Amy please.
We may be disappointed here at GSB -

This morning the Alma cam is on the river - not the nestbox - and its egg time!

Xcel has taken King and High Bridge totally offline. WHY?

Lacrosse bank - we need a cam on the EGGS!!!

A lotta folks pounding their desks today!
====

Well DUH - Electric Outage in several areas due to storms.
Bird cams WOULD NOT take priority over people!

WHO DIS??
April 4

7.45 am  Maybe 15 minutes ago I heard and saw a falcon on th "mating perch" from which Michele always screamed for a mating.

It was NOT a juvie.

But then a juvie came in and landed on roof and the falcon flew away.

Newman began dive bombing the juvie and chased it off.

Please correct my info if its incorrect - but I assume it was an ELIGIBLE female screaming for mating.

It's been quite the spring so far.  I wish it could get settled down SOON.

bev on bcaw thinks the band
 Looks like a 60/U

I refuse to guess

[Nora in IA]

Nothing comes up in the database using that.  It seems like that band is upside down.

[STLbf]

Nora, the upside down band seems right for the GSB site so far this season!

I love to guess - but - NOT THIS YEAR!


dawn - I heard / saw female on top of cam - eating & squawking.

[STLbf]

Activity this morning between Newman and the U-? female.  That was her on the camera housing eating about 6:30AM.  They have been flying, perching, in and out of the nest box, separately and together bowing and chattering.

[Nora in IA]

Sure wonder who that is.  I sent the picture of the band that was posted earlier to Amy.

[STLbf]

For the time being, I'm calling the unknown banded female  U-who.  She and Newman have been around and inside the nest box this morning again.

[shep]

Yoohoo - I love it.

I saw this in the GSB group in FaceBook:

"March 28, 2024: Newman chases off young banded falcon We’ve talked before about how female falcons usually chase/fight other females and males usually chase/fight males. Here’s an impressive example! The young banded falcon is still sporting all-brown plumage, which means he is right around one year old. While I don’t have site-specific information, he comes from Indiana, which means he is 200 miles or more from his natal nest. Good luck, U/09!"
