High Bridge, was I lucky or what ? Not long before this surprise the camera got knocked upside down.

A falcon hanging upside down from nestbox'd be funny! :biggrin:

evil Hellary was wrong about everything.

Quote:

Peregrine Falcon Joe'l [H/21 black/blue] checks out the nest box at the Allen S. King plant on a rainy Valentine's Day. Joe'l is a 2021 hatch from Great River Energy in Elk River, MN - about 44 miles NW as the falcon flies! Joe'l's father Breezy came from the King Plant (he hatched in 2015), so it feels like she's checking out the old homestead! Her record illustrates the importance of banding and reading and reporting band numbers: https://midwestperegrine.umn.edu/?vw=se ... ls&id=9768

Shepherd saw it! :biggrin:

YES - I went a lil nuts!
I made a King thread on RRP - and looked for Sherco but didnt find it

I made a *slight* correction.
Breezy is the Mama - she is from King.
She's a great mom - fledges 4 every year.

Thanks for posting the link for us, Shep!

Just checked in at the King plant with your link, Shep. Looks like Joel is not impressed with the new snow…I think I can see his shadow a few feet to our left of the nest box.

KING FIGHT looks nasty
Feb. 28, 2023 dawn
One flew in followed by a second - I am assuming males.
Whole lotta screamin goin on!
I dunno who's who here, one has the upper ... um .. feather ...
The top bird seems to have his talon stuck very deep into the other one.

Both fell off the platform and down.
I will be surprised if both survive this - looked like a fight to the death.

:omg

The female waited in the box, seeming to follow the males’ flight back and forth. A banded male ( green/ black was all I could make out) came up to the nest box and bonded for a moment with the female. He looked quite mussed up, but I didn’t see any blood….And he flew away.

. King- Well, Terka says this is a female falcon fight! Guess I’m fired…….

bev. · **Posted:** Sun Mar 05, 2023 8:55 pm

These fights will surprise you. Have seen so many over the years and most times, they both survive.
Talons crossed. I do not follow this but Those that do, I hope things turn out

What Terka posted did not seem so bad but could get nasty later :girlcrazy:

March 6 dawn
Both there chirping, male inside, female wont go in

I love King! :15heartbeat:

I've missed it for several years - no cam.
Elk River female Breezy came from King.
It'd be a pity to see those parents replaced.

2 falcon fights a week apart. Sad.
Thanks Terka, I didnt catch this one.
