He lost his whole wing on a wire, and was still alive. It was pretty brutal.

Male in nest and female on the ledge. They are talking to each other. Female to nest and they bowed and talked more, but he left quickly. She remains in the nest. Female digging out bowl more. Picked about rim of nest box, then more digging out bowl. Eventually to ledge and flew.

lots of in and outs today, but the last hour or so, it was quick ins and outs.I do believe there is another falcon out there . saw some flying while both were in.

but remembering, that falcons on th e move now.
the female goes behind box a lot. I could not post recording as tape ran out( had other cams up)

male has bands and green on right leg.

will be back with photos.

Both home now. She on the lip of the nest box talking and he on the ledge. He flew at 14:36 and she went up onto the ledge still talking. She hushed at 14:37 and the wind is trying to have its way with her and she flew.

He's back at 16:22 and on the ledge talking! Went to the end of the ledge and peeked behind the nest box. Flew at 16:24. And right back in 16:24 minute to the ledge talking again and then to the nest. To the lip at 16:25, then flew out. I think either she is nearby or an intruder from his energy exhibited.
