Typically we have had the falcons migrate in mid November, Mary Ellen 11/X stayed at the nest box until 1-9-16 before she migrated south, so she was only gone for five weeks.

Mary Ellen returned early this year on 2-20-16 and on 3/3/16 Brooklyn 65/M returned, same pair of falcons from last year and courtship occured.

This is Mary Ellen's fourth year and Brooklyn's second year in the GRE nest box.

The first egg was laid on 3-22-16 at 7:20 a.m. and the second egg was laid on 3-24-16 at 7:40 p.m., we should see the third in the early a.m. on Sunday.

The photo is of Brooklyn asking if Mary Ellen wanted a break.

Thank you for the info, Windrider & great capture! Glad to see they're both back & nesting is underway! (Maybe Mary Ellen believed the forecast that said we were to have a mild Winter!) :clap:

Anybody recording? So this daddy? The falcon is trying to brood the eggs, but they are having a terrible time getting them all underneath. Oops there's one left out...oops there is another...
