Min showed up before 8 am
I saw a flyby - wasnt caught on the stills

OK I am going to speculate the bird we saw April 22 is a young female and Min has selected her for a mate - if she returns.

susan - cute .. maybe ... :biggrin:

Omaha peregrine falcon tests positive for Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza

The peregrine falcon that died in a nest box on the WoodmenLife Tower in downtown Omaha tested positive for Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza.

The adult female falcon, named Chayton, died April 18 after being observed, via WoodmenLife’s webcam, behaving oddly. The online webcam provides a live public view of the nest box.

The falcon was retrieved by the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission and HPAI testing was performed at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Veterinary Diagnostic Center.

HPAI is a highly contagious virus that spreads easily among birds and has been detected in both domestic poultry and wild birds. Among wild birds, waterfowl and other waterbirds appear more susceptible to HPAI than other species.

Peregrine falcons’ diet consists mostly of other birds, and the species routinely preys upon ducks, shorebirds and other waterbirds. The deceased falcon may have been exposed to HPAI from its prey.

I saw a pair of falcons in the box doing the bow dance.
Yesterday I watched male bring one dressed prey after another to the box. When the female ( I think of as Large Marge ) didnt come take it, he ate it himself. :15heartbeat:

OROZCO vs MINTAKA
Another male, identified as Orozco, has been spending some time at the Tower with an unidentified female. Orozco Was the nesting male at the Mutual of Omaha building in 2017 - 2021

Mintaka, Chayton’s mate, is unhappy with this. He has also been spotted at the Tower. Peregrine falcons tend to be very territorial, and Mintaka has made it clear to Orozco that he won’t give up the Tower easily.

Although it is not clear if Orozco and this female will be staying, we have directed the Falcon Cam to the north-facing nest, which they seem to favor.
