Indy Market Tower :hatchegg: :hatchegg: :hatchegg:
Per Laura: "Third one just hatched a few minutes ago. Jefferey was on the eggs and chicks when it happened. One of the other hatched chicks was in the corner uncovered at the time. I don't think he knew how to handle it all. He looked panicked.
:flirty: She came in and a switch was made and that's when I saw the newly hatched one. She quickly gathered the uncovered one in the corner underneath her and all is well."

Aww shucks. I can do without the drama.

The excitement here in Indy is that we have another falcon nest about 1/2 mile as the falcon flies from Market Tower, at Lucas Oil Stadium. John received information from a "reliable" source so when I was downtown yesterday I thought I would check it out.

Their nest is nestled in the "A" of LUCAS on the north side of the stadium facing South Street. You can see the female I am calling Laura - more on this name later! The trail of whitewash is clearly visible as are the ropes suspended from the roof.

The nest is so close to the ground that I could clearly hear them conversing with their little e-chups. At one point both adults were in the air chasing a bird caught by the male - cross that off my bucket list! A food transfer followed, then Laura went into the nest.

I only had my cell phone so this picture was the best I could do. Lucas Oil Stadium. Per John, the stadium wants them gone. They don't like the whitewash. Petty, petty, petty!

The names I have unofficially given them until we find out if they are banded. Luke is obvious! Laura from the old General Hospital soap opera. So we now have our own Luke and Laura lovebirds!

I met John downtown this morning to meet with Lucas Oil officials where we have a nesting pair of falcons. Here is his report:

"I arrived at Lucas Oil around 9 to meet the sign folks to get a look at the letters on the stadium. After delays to get a longer safety rope and a generator, we finally made the ascent around 11:30. Prior to that time we observed a pair of peregrines soaring and perched on various buildings between the stadium and Market Tower. Just before the ascent, a pair came in and landed on some of the letters at Lucas Oil. Neither was observed with prey but they vocalized to each other and were perched together.
Once we arrived at the letters, we saw many, many bird carcasses, primarily yellow-billed cuckoo's (a real graveyard!) and several American woodcock, but no sign of a nest and little potential for successful nesting unless the site was enhanced (a tray with gravel on the flat part of the A's.
The letters are metal and extend all the way to the building where they are mounted. The 'ledges' are bare metal with no appropriate substrate for successful nesting (eggs would roll around). There are other places on the stadium where I think a nest box could be placed that would avoid the mess of carcasses on the ground and visible whitewash on the side of the building. I think it is going to be a hard sell. I got the impression from Tom Boyle that he just hopes the birds would go away. I tried to use the argument that a nest box could be used to influence where the birds may try to nest.
My assessment of this situation is that a male has probably roosted here for several years and the increase in whitewash and prey litter is due to the appearance of a female. She likely did not nest this year (or a nest attempt failed) but will try and do so next year.
It would be nice to have concurrent observations of the birds at Lucas Oil and Market Tower to definitively ascertain that we have two pairs.

It appears that the pigeon wire is being installed today (or over the next few days) and a power washer will be used to get rid of the whitewash.

FYI, nice view from the top of top of the stadium, but a little disconcerting when the motor malfunctioned on the way down. After about 15 minutes, they remedied the situation and we didn't end up on the local news being rescued by firefighters!
