CORRECTION- D 51 is River... I am concerned for River. He hobbled around the nest box, and whenever he tried to put weight on his right leg, he would fall... The cam operator zoomed in very close to River's leg, I easily read D51. The leg didn't look distorted to me, but River held that leg out, and then gave it 2 pecks, he is kind of aggravated at it. He hopped out to the far perch, but when he decided he wanted to return to the nest box, he couldn't keep his balance to turn. He tried several times, almost losing his balance each time. After a minute or two, he flew away....
PS - River is a GIRL

Here is video of River's visit. It's fairly long so you may want to fast forward to when she's in the box.It's about four minutes into the video.

Thanks for the video, Carolyn! She obviously does have a sore foot. Hopefully its just a strain & will heal itself. I was concerned about whether her parents are still catching food for her, but I see she has food in her crop, so she is OK on that front. :1val:

Looks like there is a lightening storm going on. No thunder but that sky sure is lighting up, rain is coming down hard. Parent just showed up 8:52pm nest time

Sure hope the kids are all under cover this rain is terrible.

Yes it was was last when I looked in after work.

Cam seems to be back on. No one is home but traffic and sparrow chipping looks normal.

Carolyn · **Posted:** Sun Jul 19, 2015 9:54 pm

The cam is not working properly. When I open it I get a night scene for a few seconds then it goes to live streaming where it stops and does not stream, also there is no sound at this point either.

:gaaaaah:

Cam seems to be live again :sum9:

The birdcam has been taken offline as the birds are no longer visiting the nestbox. See you all next season.

TRIBUTE: Bob Anderson was instrumental in helping Great River Energy get our Peregrine Falcon birdcam up and running. He was an amazing teacher and his love for his birds was inspirational. RIP Bob, you will be missed.

and yes, Bob will certainly be missed. What a great loss for the peregrine falcon world...we have several tributes/links regarding the legacy he has left scattered throughout this forum...

I just read sad news at the data base

Sky D/49
Died in collision with vehicle. Reported by Brenda Geisler. Currently in my freezer, hoping to find someone who needs a mount. Will send to Field Museum otherwise. RIP :sorrow:

I've also added this as a separate topic so that we can access it easily if needed. Thanks, Gigi!
