Feb. 2021

KING 2020 Nesting Record
A falcon was spotted here in early February.
2020 female was Kris 69/W, a 2011 hatch from the MN Power Clay Boswell station in Cohasset, MN.
Male was Slate 08/C, a 2012 hatch from the Colonnade Building in Golden Valley, MN.
Kris laid her first egg April 25.

Sherco 2020 Nesting Record
2/3/2020: An unknown falcon was spotted today. It appears to be unbanded.
The unknown falcon here laid her first egg last year on April 30. She may lay earlier this year: last year was her first year onsite and she came to it late.

Looks like RRP has a new page

Well...I don't even know where to put this.

XCEL Riverside. I certainly hope there is another view. Check it while you can...may be off before you blink.
