Painting their tails  right? Finally saw a falcon in the box again. Banded, but I couldn't get the number. I'm glad someone finally showed up here!

2.40 pm  Falcon is still there.
I hear it, caught glimpse of its tail on outer perch.
Its chupping - does that mean another falcon is there too??

[mrsfalcon]

Most likely!

[mrsfalcon]

It's '5' up top but I could only see a very small part of the top band and I couldn't read the bottom band. This is most likely Malice 59/R bl/blu, the resident male. He nested with P/41 Fearless last year.

Ok it DOES look like the band for Malice.  The female is unbanded............Looked sort of brownish on her back yet too.

At 7:46 he brought in some breakfast that she promptly followed him in and grabbed.  He left when she started eating.

There were a couple nice pigeons checking out the whole nest box and then they skedaddled.   


Check upper right corner, Malice showed up 

[shep]

   HAHAHA!  This is the third nest pigeons wanted!
In Topeka they were insistant a long time.
Falcon came and they vamoosed - FAST

Pigeons at peregrine nest boxes and geese on eagle nests......................    And I think it's up in MN there are ducks on an eagle nest.
