Brief update from Jean's FB page. She's messaging with NGPC (not real sure what that stands for) and they are now aware and are monitoring the situation. If it is Avian Flu, there is no treatment.

but go and get her . they do no t know.

Another update from Jean about an hour ago. She thinks that Mom has passed. She is not detecting respirations but will review all of her footage. Also, a person named Carri Honz with RCA (whatever that is) is volunteering her group to incubate the eggs if they are viable.

Just like with Beauty, they need to go and get her and figure out what happened...

This is just so heartbreaking... :tissue:

I am so distraught, I'm not even sure I've uploaded the right ones.

These were between approximately 6:58 and 7:10 cam time

Dad arrives...and it looks like she tries to get up several times...but, then finally collapses. Once she drew her wing back in some, I could not detect anymore respirations.

If you are a member of Facebook, you can go to the Peregrine Falcons NE facebook page. Jean has posted a vid of Mom's final moments. Very difficult and heartbreaking to watch.

Another heart breaking event.
The offer to take care of the eggs is uplifting though. :tissue:

Too bad. O Lord, Please let this be the LAST tragedy we witness in Birddom in 2022

I've heard of re-homing eggs with another pair.
Could this be tried?
I've seen male birds grieve, very sad. Precious too.
This year I've seen males who appear unusually attentive to family

I walked away for awhile - and got to thinking.
In Pa there was a falcon who lost her mate - and she had 2 eggs.
She flew around advertising for a mate and got one very soon - and laid 2 more eggs with him.

I think I would remove Charity - and leave the eggs - and see what the male does.

my 2 cents

TEMP - 30

That might be an option if the eggs were viable...which, sadly, they probably aren't. Same situation several years ago in San Francisco. Resident female was ousted, new female came in and laid a few eggs into her "mix". None of the eggs hatched that year....old or new. I'd have to go back and look, but believe there were 6 or 7 eggs in that egg pile.

Per Facebook

Chayton and the eggs have been removed from the box. You can probably find that in the archives as it just happened.

Fortunately, I do not have the time to go and look for it. :girlsad3:

Life goes on
Male may find a new femaile quickly and still have a 2022 brood

Male (I assume) this afternoon...

Omaha Falcon Chayton dies
Apr 19, 2022 Woodmen Life, Omaha Nebraska - We are saddened to announce that our female peregrine falcon, Chayton, passed away on Monday evening. At this time, we don't know a definitive cause, but Nebraska Game will be testing her body. Raptor Conservation Alliance took Chayton's remaining eggs to incubate them in hope of any hatching.

The female falcon Chayton died Monday. She's been there since 2018. While raptors are not as prone to avian flu as other types of birds, some raptors have been known to succumb to the virus.

Chayton’s mate, Mintaka, has been seen around the nest. He was her devoted mate, and kept vigil at her side as she passed somewhere over the rainbow. Perhaps she joined other falcons we knew en route.

Farewell Chayton. Tweet us when you arrive!
