Such a precious family
So nice to see 4 eggs laid, 4 hatch.

1 failed nest this year, several leftover eggs and some nests
I miss watching them, and Sherco and King - offline this year :egg10:

Have our beloved babies fledged yet?
Where are they playing?
Is there any place outside box for them prior to fledge?

I sure have missed Breezy more than the Xcel's - and I missed them. I've had no word at all about xcel

:loveheart:

Quick status update. We have 3 boys and one girl. They haven't fledged yet but I'm sure they are close... It's getting crowded in there. Brooklyn & Breezy are doing awesome!

Windrider will be posting more pics later this week. Here's a few quick details:

Banding numbers -
R51 (male) Hodgson
R52 (male) Falcor 2
R53 (male) Kerby

All have fledged beginning with Kerby last Saturday. Kerby and Kay continue to return to the nest box at night. Breezy and Brooklyn feeding both on the platform and in the nest box.

Thanks to you all, once again, for your patience and understanding for our inability to provide a stream of the Elk River falcons this year.

As a small makeup, we put together a short video about the project. :)

Enjoy it on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/dgp4OB_SdSU

Best regards,

Your friends at Great River Energy

I hope we can watch our baby in 2021
I missed her
She is such a great mom - like her parents - missed them too
2020 was awful
