Title: 2025 US Bank Falcons, La Crosse WI
Post by: mrsfalcon on January 13, 2025, 12:56:15 PM: Welcome to the 2025 US Bank La Crosse falcons thread! Watch live here: https://www.raptorresource.org/birdcams/additional-falcon-cams/ (https://www.raptorresource.org/birdcams/additional-falcon-cams/) and please share your observations and screenshots in this thread! We are especially interested in band numbers, egg-laying dates, and hatch dates.

Amy

I'll start: RosieannB identified falcon 30/AC. Greg Septon banded Birdie Blair (love the name!) at the WEPCO Oak Creek Power Plant in Milwaukee, WI in 2024. Birdie is about 184 miles NW of her natal nest.

Post by: mrsfalcon on February 11, 2025, 10:58:12 AM: Nice! We've seen some of these falcons before and others are from the region. Zazu's natal nest is maybe 20 miles upstream? Some year I'll spend a couple of winter days in La Crosse looking for falcons.

And thank you Rosieann, I've been trying to figure out the id today. I figured the U was upside down, but didn't think about the number being upside down also. I believe Ardy was with her today also.

Post by: Rosieann on March 02, 2025, 11:54:51 AM: U/09 on a morning visit.
If the videostreams here and on GSB have the same time, U/09 was seen on the box cam at GSB about 40 minutes later.

Elaine seen here and GSB - both have males.
GSB has no female

NOTE
I am confused about Ardy 06/D.
Hatched 2015 Horizon, Lake City MN

Has he been here before 2025?

Post by: shep on March 13, 2025, 05:39:29 AM: MY MUSINGS
It looks to me as if Elaine prefers Lacrosse.
It appeared Newman has rejected her.
Newman may sense another male on her, however males detect things - and they DO detect things!

At age 2, she may not be that interested in eggs.
We can call her flighty - as she flies between here n there. ;D

Of course - all is speculation - birds are flippin unpredictable!
Title: Re: 2025 US Bank Falcons, La Crosse WI
Post by: Rosieann on March 20, 2025, 03:33:52 PM: So far a busy Thursday in the box. Elaine brought in a bird, Ardy came by and bowed then Elaine flew off with the bird. They both been in the box, together and one by one and Elaine even did some digging.
It is so cool to follow Elaine both here and at GSB, thank you RRP and Amy for both live streams.

Elaine is sitting in her scrape, chirping.
Does she have an egg coming?

Post by: klhfarrow on March 25, 2025, 07:13:29 AM: Last night while fixing dinner one of the falcons was VERY loud, flying low and right near my balcony. Almost seemed like they were diving at something but I could not see what. It went on for about 10 minutes, then all was quiet again.

I am so glad to see both in the nest this morning.

Post by: shep on March 27, 2025, 07:41:23 AM: March 27, 2025
7.30 am I have not seen her turn or warm the egg.
She was chirpin for brekky before dawn, Ardy didnt provide, so she flew over to GSB with Newman.

7.15 Ardy got a bird for her, chriped n chirped, no Elaine. She flew in grab prey and flew away.

Egg alone

Unknown if Ardy will tend egg if its Newman's egg

7.45 Elaine flew in and both were there.
She looked at the egg, seemed confused.

Post by: Nora in IA on March 27, 2025, 10:14:58 AM: What I'm wondering is what happened to Karen Karen 44/P? If she just didn't come back or she and Elaine got into it? Elaine chased one off from GSB.
Title: Re: 2025 US Bank Falcons, La Crosse WI
Post by: shep on March 27, 2025, 01:52:32 PM: Hi Nora!
I hope all is well with you.

Did you watch last year?
Did Ardy help incubate - and help feed young?
I dont know anything about the 2024 female

I know Ardy was awful eggcited to see an egg
Title: Re: 2025 US Bank Falcons, La Crosse WI
Post by: shep on March 28, 2025, 06:55:05 AM: Friday, March 28, 2025
6 am Elaine at LaCrosse.
6.25 am I dont see Elaine at LaX -
she was squakin - did she fly to GSB for brekky?

⚡ both GSB cams on hilights - rain.

6.45 she's at LaX again clucking for brekky.
I'd say she clearly feels a pull toward her egg.

6.50 Ardy brings a bird, Elaine reachs for it, but when Ardy brings it inside box - SHE FLIES AWAY! He follows her. oi vey!
Well now she's back - alone.

I wish we had another cam at LaX - showing the outer perchs.
Title: Re: 2025 US Bank Falcons, La Crosse WI
Post by: shep on March 29, 2025, 02:31:40 PM: March 29, 2025
Elaine laid egg 2 - at GSB

Egg 1 is here at LaX.

She was in the GSB box at 4 am this morning.

2.30 pm She has not returned to LaX all day.
Ardy is tending the egg.

I doubt either egg is viable.

Ardys unbanded gf returned just before dawn.
They did the falcon dance.

The LAST day of March
Tomorrow is April Fools Day.
Somehow that is SOOOO appropriate this year!
SNOW at GSB!

Ardy has a new gf - wonderful -
but another 2 year old.
Will she give him eggs, young?
At least he has a companion.

Elaine laid her 3rd egg at GSB
So now GSB has 2 eggs.
confused? ... get in line! ;D

I'm sure you do, but you knew Elaine that finally settled at Great Spirit Bluff laid that first egg that's off to the side when she was still going back and forth between GSB and US Bank? Just mentioned in case you didn't know. :)
