Bird Cams Around the World

Radisson kept doing that to me. Going in stop position. they are such teases.

I guess keeping the muscles strong.

Here is the news today from the people at Great River Station:

"This is a new pair to our nesting box. The male falcon’s name is Sawatzke. He was banded at the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant near Monticello, Minn. in 2009. The female falcon is unbanded."

Thanks, Elaine! Finally we know the identify of the male!

Thank you so much, Elaine. According to the Midwest Peregrine Falcon database, Sawatzke's bands are: b/g H/34 Left.

Saw - what - ski

Wow he has a great name as well as so handsome.

I do wonder what happened to our other couple though.

According to the Manitoba Falcon Cam Forum, a second egg appeared here at 9:48 this morning. Good for you, Mrs. Sawatzke!

Here you can see all 3 eggs!

Thanks, Yvone. Still looks like 3 eggs.

They changed the camera zoom to close-up here, and you cannot possibly miss a thing. Right now, Sawatzke is on the eggs, and doing a fair bit of panting. You can pretty well see every expression on his face. It is so nice that here, everything seems to be going well, especially considering the upheavals elsewhere in the falcon world.

They must have made that change this afternoon. I had checked earlier today and it hadn't been zoomed then. Thanks for the heads-up, Elaine.

Thanks for the heads-up, Elaine! That is a nice angle to see the babes when they arrive!
