Happy New Year!

Female – 2021 - C/17(b/r) 2014 hatch from Washington Univ. Med School, St. Louis. Previous Unbanded. 2019; b/g, purple band. Never got a good look at it.
Male -Mack, *V/*X [we think]
John Castrale's report from 2012:
"2012- A plant worker checked a nest box (installed in fall 2004) on 3/24 and flushed an adult off three eggs. On 4/2, three eggs were unattended with an adult male perched on a nearby smokestack. Still 3 eggs on 4/9 with both adults observed away from box. Three cold eggs collected from nest on 4/24; no adults observed. Distant camera revealed multiple daily visits by the adults to the nest box through mid-May. Jim Verley monitored and provided access to this site."
No Known activity in 2013.

Petersburg IN is in southwestern Indiana on the White River. Located north and between Evansville, IN and Louisville, KY. Here are 2 pictures of the area.

We may have a new adult at Petersburg. I will try to get a read on the bands. Laura thinks female based on size relative to position and box. Also new cams at both IPL sites.
FYI, IPL is rebranding to AES, which is the company that purchased IPL several years ago.

The camera angle is a little wonky. :girlcrazy: I saw someone on the perch earlier but couldn't tell who.

:flirty: Finally, I caught somebody home! I think maybe it is the female as looks large standing on the porch right now. But they have their back to us. Don't really know who it is. The nest gravel looks so compacted, I guess from all the snow they had earlier. Gonna be tough to dig out a bowl, but they will!

I don't know for sure, but since the box was just cleaned when the new camera was installed, I imagine they checked the gravel.

Okay, gigi. I'll quit thinking out loud, just looked as if the back gravel border is separated from the wall and rounded and I thought compacted after the moisture from the snow had dried out some.

Actually SWINWK, I was thinking the same thing about the gravel....maybe it’s just an optical illusion...

As I said, I don't know for sure but it seems like they would mess with the gravel while up there installing the camera. That doesn't mean they did. I know John C. was a little concerned about the camera angle but did not want to intrude on the nest again. Let's see what happens.
