I love this pair :15heartbeat:

bev, let me fill you in a little
Bob (now deceased) built several falcon nestboxes in Minnesota.
Elk River, King, GSB, Sherco, BlackDog

This female Breezy is the 2016 offspring of our King Plant (Xcel)
Its almost like watching our grandchild raise her kids.
Sorry - cant help it.

I am so glad Brook was so persistent to court her and take her in.
She seemed so shy to be inside box with him for a long time.
We dont know where she was in 2016 -
she came here the end of season when Mary Ellen disappeared.

Y'all correct me if I got something incorrect
Some watching here may not know the story :)

The Elk River box was built by a boy scout as a project for one of his badges.

What a surprise! I couldn't seem to time the times I went into the cam when she isn't on them. They're looking well-fed & healthy. Thanks SGB!

The nesting calendar has 4 & so does my nesting information so apparently we both forgot.

Our banding date is set for 5/29 starting around 9:00am. The cameras will be offline, the nest box cleaned and the eyasses will get their jewelry.

Thanks queen
will you video the banding?
I wish you could leave the cam on
its fun to watch

We actually remove the birds from the box and bring them down to the ground for the banding. I can see if someone can video the banding and put it on YouTube.
