From RRP about the box, black flies, and jumping out.

I do not think they should remove it. We have seen how they work their way up with help of parents.

Like they say we have learned a lot. Last year, they nested later because of fighting, so it worked out.

Between 2005 and 2012 RRP banded 25 falcons

NOPE. Dont remove the box!
I dont think a single falcon chick has been lost due to early fludge.
The young have enuf wing power to safely land -
and enuf lung power to let parents know where they are! :egg11:

I personally enjoy the view of the river and locks and barges.
Minnesota is where I grew up.

Any news on them

In past years falcon young have - fludged - at this age.
Then in about a week, they are able to fly UP -
and we see them playing all over the bluff
There is no need to worry, falcon parents are able guardians

I dont understand the worry.
I do like nestboxs like Omaha where the young have roon to run around when they exit box
