Taking a few minutes to check out nests. Got to N for Nebraska, and noticed that their eggs should begin to hatch before too long? I think Mintake is on the eggs right now, and at first was taking a power nap. He woke, and seemed to fidget a little, like he was ready for Charity to return. I watched for some time, with him being quite still except for looking for Charity. Then he showed me a little of what I was watching for. He looked down at his eggs several times within a couple minutes. He got (squatted) up and shuggle the eggs around as he did a quarter turn. It seemed like he moved one egg toward the front as he did this, perhaps it is the "noise maker" - I hope!!

OMAHA, NE —
The WoodmenLife Tower is preparing to add four new peregrine falcons to its existing falcon family.
The falcons will be banded and have their genders determined during the annual banding ceremony Friday on the 20th floor of the downtown tower.
The WoodmenLife Tower has been home to peregrine falcons for nearly 30 years.

The WoodmenLife Tower peregrine falcon fledglings have been banded! Thank you to Nebraska Game and Parks Commission for all of the work you do with these birds every year. The youngsters will stay around the nest for the time being until they are ready to fly on their own.

Didn't know today was banding day but checked the multi-cam page and could tell something was going on. Are they still upset?

Four girls huh? :loveheart:
