When did the bluff fledge more than one?
Michelle fledged 3 or 4

2022 Only one fledge
2021 Owl got both Nova's young.

I dont recall prior to 2021


Scroll down to nest records for GSS,  and then to detailed annual information https://www.farmyou.com/calendar/history.php?PlaceID=GSB

I think more than one fledge goes back to 2016.

Thanks Linda!

The Cliff box has not been productive in recent years.
No wonder Newman is franticly fertilizing EVERYbirdy!

2021 Only one fledge
2020 Owl got both Nova's young.
2017, 2018, 2019  only one fledge

2015, 2016  =  4 fledged

2022 June 14
All 4 chicks jump from the nest
We dont know if they survived or not, we never saw them again.
Raccoon may have gotten them, we just dont know.

Newman offered a "box of chocolates" to Savanna early this morning. She graciously accepted and ate them all.
Translation, the offering was the carcass of a male Red winged blackbird, which he waved at her from the next box perch.  Yum.
Best view is from the Nest Box Cam, which is the closeup but not movable camera.

Things are still pretty heated up at GSB.  Morning mating, previous post pic.  This afternoon at 3:30, Newman in the box bows and maybe calls. Savanna perches and croons.  He flies out of the box and right back to mate with her.  At this rate they could have a dozen eggs!  Three or four would be ideal.

Thanks  Nora and Shep.
Tis the season...
Hope cams back up and functioning. Far too exciting not to be working.

Shep, yes, egg time at GSB is almost here.  Newman and Savanna were in the box together, nodding, bowing, conversing about 9:00 this morning.  Shortly after it looked like she was scratching at the gravel and later picking at it.

Limited view with the nest box cam, but the best!  Savanna spent the night in the box; I think it was her and not Newman.
No eggs yet, but copulation at about 9:00 this morning. And both calling, flying in and out, at this posting time
