6 am  both arrive

March 27, 2025
Are the 2 males still fighting for the box?
Late today one male was very agitated - kept looking up - as if male #2 is flying around

[shep]

March 29, 2025
6 am  Both falcons in box.
Female's been here an hour - out at end of outer perch.

Hope male #2 stays away

[shep]

FIGHT!
April 1, 2025 
5.15 am  A falcon arrived.
5.16 am  Another falcon arrived.
Wrestling flapping biting ensued
5.18 am  BOTH tumbled out.

5.37 am  A falcon flies into the box and sits there.

1.45 pm  BOTH showed up.  Male looks wounded.

I've noticed the falcon has been uneasy - keeps looking up - tracking ....
Perhaps now that a fight has happened, we can have peace - and an egg.

Is there a shortage of adult female falcons?
A note on Explore indicated new male here, then 2024 male arrived later.
Note GSB & Lacrosse - both with 2 year old females.

( this is NOT an April fool joke )

April 4
CAM IS DOWN

Things have NOT been normal here since the fight.
I dont know who won.
Did she accept the winner, or not?
The male's wound looks nasty.  Looked worse April 3.

Shep, watch here: https://www.raptorresource.org/birdcams/xcel-energy-cams/ or here: https://www.youtube.com/@xcelenergyhighbridgefalcons/live.

The links you are using terminate when the stream ends. We generally get it back online pretty quickly, but if you are using dead links, you won't know that. If the cam is live, it will be streaming to the two urls I just posted.

I DO go there Amy.
The xcel streams are NOT live 24/7 - they go dead.

 April 13 Palm Sonday
11 am  Video went all squiggly - no image
Went to both links you gave - same squiggly

Xcel is a poor provider, sadly
