Welcome to the 2025 King falcons thread! Watch live here: https://www.raptorresource.org/birdcams/xcel-energy-cams/#peregrines (https://www.raptorresource.org/birdcams/xcel-energy-cams/#peregrines) and please share your observations and screenshots in this thread! We are especially interested in band numbers, egg-laying dates, and hatch dates.

Xcel probably just hasn't turned then on yet, I hope.

They are replacing stuff now. The nest box 100% had to be replaced, so they built a new box and had a crew take it up. Glad to see that all these years later, everyone is still way into it! Hopeful we can also get the camera back online, but not going to guarantee it! Cross fingers, toes, and talons for King to be online in the next couple of weeks!

King has a history!
King has grandchildren!
One offspring - Breezy -  is at Elk River .
She puts 4 into the air every year!   :)

Glad for new box.  The old one was dilapidated.

Amy - is there any update here?
Is the new box complete?
Did it get done in time for the falcons this year?
Does cam work - or will it work?

Is King going to have a cam this year?  It's not on the cam list?
