I didnt see him after dawn until late in the day he returned
He is still expecting her to return.  :'(

7 am  Mintaka showed up before 7 am - probly him, not the new nutty one
I saw a flyby - but the stills dont show it

bcaw - from fb ...
Chayton, the female peregrine falcon that died April 18 in a nest box on the WoodmenLife Tower in downtown Omaha tested positive for Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza. HPAI is a highly contagious virus that spreads easily among birds and has been detected in both domestic poultry and wild birds. Peregrine falcons’ diet consists mostly of other birds, and the falcon may have been exposed to HPAI from its prey.

7.30 am  A female joins Mintaka (?) in the nestbox for the ritual bow dance
She is so big I wanna call her Large Marge

Yesterday I watched male bring one dressed prey after another to the box. When Marge didnt come take it, he ate it himself.

OROZCO vs MINTAKA
Another male, identified as Orozco, has been spending some time at the Tower with an unidentified female. Orozco Was the nesting male at the Mutual of Omaha building in 2017 - 2021

Mintaka, Chayton’s mate, is unhappy with this. He has also been spotted at the Tower. Peregrine falcons tend to be very territorial, and Mintaka has made it clear to Orozco that he won’t give up the Tower easily.

Although it is not clear if Orozco and this female will be staying, we have directed the Falcon Cam to the north-facing nest, which they seem to favor.

If that is definite on Chayton I hope Mintaka doesn't get it.

We lost the Omaha female - and her eggs - at Woodman nest this year.
Now an Omaha chick appears gone, #2 weak
COINCIDENCE?
