I don't really know, either, Shepherd, except that on Feb. 27 Windrider posted the information about Breezy, and that Breezy had been seen there last fall...I too enjoyed watching Mary Ellen grow up from a little juvie into a fine mama falcon.

Very sad to report that something happened to Mary Ellen on 6/26/17 which was the last time she was seen at the nest box.

She never returned to her young, however Brooklyn did stay on with the young until they migrated, he is a wonderful father!

Mary Ellen is dearly missed she nested at Great River Energy for five years!

Yes I missed it also, thank you for the information Windrider.
This nest is one of those nests that is always wanted. Prime location I think is what was said a few years back.

Breezy and Brooklyn were both inside the box AT the SAME TIME, but not long enuf for a print

Breezy is from the 2015 King fledge
She was swimming and pebbling - nesting behavior.
I suppose this is her first nesting year

I sure hate to hear that something happened to Mary Ellen. She was such a beautiful girl and devoted mother. Do they know what happened to her? I know that something must have, of course, if she did not return to take care or her babies, but still want to know what. Did they shut down the cam or something after that happened? Don't remember knowing this last year. Very sad.
:sorrow:
So happy that her mate was able to finish raising the chicks.

Breezy had been but fled when Brook came

Breezy goes inside, swims, pebbles, does what she should,
but as soon as he flies in peeping, she exits fast.

My thot is either he scares her, she finds box too small,
or she has had a bad experience inside a box.

QUESTION
How necessary is it that the pair do the peep n bow?
its kinda like, -
I'll have your babies but I wont live with you.

It seems very odd to me
anyone have thots?

:shamrock1: hoping .... for eggs .....

March 15 I saw no bugs in the afternoon.
Did they go up and spray?
On the bug days there appeared to be NO WIND.

Beautiful photo sky, now tell Breezy to go in!
