Welcome to the 2025 High Bridge falcons thread! Watch live here: https://www.raptorresource.org/birdcams/xcel-energy-cams/#peregrines and please share your observations and screenshots in this thread! We are especially interested in band numbers, egg-laying dates, and hatch dates.

This is one of the spots that I'm very interested in band numbers. At least one falcon is hanging around now. I'll try to get the camera in on it for band numbers...talons crossed!

I'm not in the office for some of this week, but I'm really hoping to be able to operate the camera here next week. We have a male hanging around and I would love to know who he is!

Amy -
can anyone get that flapping feather out of the Redwing box?  It may scare off any falcon.
