Good grief, I didn't know this. If I missed it posted somewhere else, sorry. Anyway, so tragic. Didn't something terrible happen here last year too?

:sorrow: :sorrow: :sorrow:





Email Jeff your question now!(link sends e-mail)

May 15, 2020

Hello all. We’ve had tragedy at the nest box. This morning as I was getting out of my vehicle at Ameren’s Sioux Energy Center to get ready for banding our 20-day old chicks, I was informed that 2 had jumped from the box and one had passed away in the box. The chick that passed away in the box died sometime overnight. Around 6 this morning the other 2 jumped from the box. With the chicks not even walking on their feet yet, them jumping from the box was very surprising.

I still climbed to the box to retrieve the passed chick that was still in the box. I found another just under the box, where 2 I-beams come together. That chick was also dead. The third chick fell to the ground. All 3 bodies will be necropsied (that’s an animal autopsy) and we will try to find out why the chicks so suddenly died.

The person that pans the camera looked at recorded footage from last night. He watched until he could not see into the box because of darkness. Nothing about the chicks’ behavior gave him any hint there was trouble.

When I climbed onto the beams near the box to retrieve the chicks, mom falcon acted as normal, pummeling my yellow helmet with her feet as she rapidly flew by. Dad falcon was also flying very close, yelling at me. The box had feathers from prey items, just as normal.

This tragedy was the last thing I expected, as WBS staff person Darcy Evelhoch and I made our way to the Sioux Energy Center early this morning. In previous ASKJEFF’s I’ve spoken of how nature can seemingly be cruel, not only in our situation, but with all other living things on the planet. Still, when you get to see so much of our Peregrine Falcon pair and the chicks they produce and raise, one cannot help but become attached. My attachment comes through in the respect I have for the species, our 14 year old female and her 16 year old mate. They have been together for 5 seasons now and have contributed 8 fledglings to the North American Peregrine population.

I really didn’t think the last ASK JEFF would come so quickly in the nesting season, but again, nature has her own agenda, and it sometimes doesn’t work out for the human onlookers. If we get definitive answers from testing the chicks’ bodies, I will write another ASK JEFF.

I hope everyone has a great summer, and I look forward to writing to you in 2021.

RE: Sioux Energy

This is so tragic. :tissue: Jumping from the box? Could it be biting flies? that's what has caused the Great Spirit Bluff chicks to jump prematurely from the box in the past.

Even more tragic because they lost all the chicks last year. No cause was found as the chicks disappeared from the box..

Ya know...in the past we've had the time/energy to stay on top of these nests and alert DNR's if we thought there were problems...but, because there are so many nests now...there's just not enough time to check/watch every nest, every day...Maybe this needs to be a high priority nest for next year since they have lost chicks 2 years in a row. Maybe we can help...
