There was a falcon at the Pleasant Prairie nest box almost all day... Was wondering if this is the male or the female. Does the other resident migrate?

6:55 watching football game Green Bay and San Fran wind chill -12 right now. Hope all are falcons are safe and warm here.

Indy Froona, at Port Washington...

Female at Pleasant Prairie:



Male at Pleasant Prarie:

Valley Plant

Ms Tahoe may be a bit of a deterent!!

I think you are right Matrix. IndyFroona always started her visits before the resident female returned from her winter peregrinations. I bet Tahoe is challenging her before she gets close to the box which would explain why we have not seen IndyFroona at all.

I checked the WE energies page with the hourly snapshots this morning, and according to the snapshots show today(Friday) Indy was home at 9:00 on the Port Washington cam, and another falcon was home quite a bit at Valley Power, at 8, 9, 11, 12, and 1:00. What is her name?

Oh- man! I hope its Maya!

I'm going to believe it is her just really plumped up for winter.

Pleasant Prairie:

Thank you for the WE montage, kittenface! I love peeking in at their lives... Are these all females that have remained at the nest, and are waiting for their mates to return? Boy, doesn't Feb. 17th look awful!
