I'm trying to understand. I think Joel has a female intruder.

edit: This is a female Joel and two males. One 32/D, the other ??/S

Joel attacked the male who came as an intruder.
The resident did not chase him away. Why?

32/D Monty, a 2017 hatch from the Ford Parkway Bridge in Minneapolis, MN.

Check my notes, images on RRP.
Explore said regular female - 2 males.
Too much to pull over here.

They're calling a dusting of snow a blizzard.

Nice, Terka! It's surprising that they were at the nestbox after dark. :thumbupegg:

At Highbridge the female was hanging out on the perch when a Tiercel zoomed in, stayed about 6 seconds and zoomed out…..

High Bridge
March 29, 2025
5 am she arrived - on far edge of outer perch.
They are around, but not on cam much.
Yesderday The male appeared to be watching the sky - as if a threat.

No King cam for 2025 yet - may not have one.
Amy said a new box is being put up.

:spring1:

its almost April guys!

FIGHT!
April 1, 2025
5.15 am A falcon arrived.
5.16 am Another falcon arrived.
Wrestling flapping biting ensued
5.18 am BOTH tumbled out.

I've noticed the falcon has been uneasy - keeps looking up - tracking ....
Perhaps now that a fight has happened, we can have peace - and an egg.

Is there a shortage of adult female falcons?
A note on Explore indicated new male here, then 2024 male arrived later.
Note GSB & Lacrosse - both with 2 year old females.

( this is NOT an April fool joke )

:omg

A falcon returned to box BRIEFLY, about half hour after the fight - but left again.

8.05 am A falcon flies into box, then flies toward cam - evidently lands on it.

11 am I have seen one falcon in and out
I have NOT seen 2

CAM IS DOWN
April 5, 2025
Things have NOT been normal here since the fight.
I dont know who won.
Did she accept the winner, or not?
The male's wound looks nasty. Looked worse April 3.
