Monday morning Kami P59 must be flying because here she is perched on top of the bluff.

Watch rewind just after this closeup for great soaring demonstration.  I'm guessing that it is Newman showing the kids how.

Orrrrr, it might have been Thomas B59 soaring, because here he is with a bird catch on a deadfall away from the nest box. And Kami is still perched atop the bluff.

The other two are still at the box.

Some leftovers were carried from the back of the nest box and he did a good job of mantling while he ate it out there.

So he was eating some of it on the snag and dropped a piece.  As it fell down and down he looked down and watched it......then went back to eating.

Great Spirit Bluff Falcons La Crescent, Minnesota,

Nest of Savanna and Newman

early morning, all three are sleeping good
Before days light 3 Falconets ready to go
06h55 all 3 are away flying after Dad Newman ?


I don't search, earlier,  if there was a theory made about the battle of Savanna against the GHO and the bad end of the Falconets'Mom and Newman's mate but i have may be one

I think that before dying, Savanna made some may be mortal damages too to the GHO as i can't understand why the GHO never returns to the nest where the food was easier to catch after the battle. It's only an idea like another.
Rest in Peace Savanna your guys are such a so beautiful little falcons now. Newman is also doing a great job in your Honor. Please take care of all your family from where you are.

Philjo I like that idea you have on the GHO.  I am keeping my fingers crossed for the little falcons.

Hello Philjo, good to hear from you!  We are all guessing and hoping that the Fab Four have successful fledges.  Watching only the nest box camera, there are times when it is empty. But because this camera does not move, we can't see who is where.  Two are still at the nest box but perching out on the longer perches.  Using the cliff cam, the view is better.

Oooops.  Newman brought a bird to one on the snag.  It worked its way down towards him and was flapping and accidentally caught Newman pretty hard with a wing and the bird fell, Newman swooped down and grabbed it from where it fell to and flew off.
