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 MINTAKAAnother 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.
