She's really a sharp-looking falcon! I'm going to zoom in on the roof spot - I can do that without moving the camera.

No sign of them all day.  Odd.
Would the construction below annoy them?

3 birds
March 19, 2025 
8.30 am I saw 3 falcons!  One inside crouched low, flat.
2 perched outside.
The one closest to cam is H21 - I am *fairly sure.  8)

Whoever WAS inside, crouched, appeared they were begging.

I DONT KNOW WHAT I SAW!
Amy was there, she zoomed cam in on bands.

10.45 am  All 3 are still there!
One flew off for awhile.
I DONT WANT them to fight, I just dunno why they dont.
I think its a male and 2 girls, but I just dont know.

1 pm Falcon #3 is back again.  She left awhile.
I wonder if one is sick.

2 pm they all flew off.

Female Joe'l H/21
  - 2021 hatch from Elk River, MN
