They peep to each other but she wont go in nest with him
yet

[LisaG1967]

Awww, thanks for the updates, shep

Lisa, I love this pair!   
Bo is so sweet to her
She came CLOSE to going into the nest with him today

The Racine falcon is there every day.
He seems to see his mate and call to her but she wont go in yet

Last year my little Breezy at Elk River wouldnt go inside the box with the male til she was good n ready.

I think this has significance

They do look like a sweet pair. 

My niece works in downtown Baltimore, and the building where this cam is located is near her building.

Should be any hour now

March 19, 2019  dawn
I finally saw both Barb and Bo in nest together
doing the peep n bow
Barb was in the nest lookin for a spot to lay her egg and Bo came flying in eagerly!

Before this, Barb was preening out on the steps - and I think thats a brood patch

Do you know where Boh got his name, shep?

At one time, there was a beer manufactured in the area called National Bohemian. It became known as "Natty Boh", and although the beer no longer exists, that is where Boh's name came from.
