'It is not true that peregrine falcons mate for life. '

A falcon may change mates if current mate didnt have young.
This is also true of eagles.

Hi all, Great River Energy here :)  ;D

Please ALWAYS use this URL to get to the stream:
https://www.youtube.com/@grenergynews/live

The URL with the specific video ID will change every month as we must patch our systems. When the stream is shut down the next URL is different when it comes back online but https://www.youtube.com/@grenergynews/live will always work.

We hope to stream on our dotcom site this week.

March 15, 2025  rain
Brook brot Breezy dressed prey a couple hours ago.
Half hour ago he brot her another chunk!
Maybe he wants her to eat so much the egg has to leave!   :D

He really is a cutie!
