It is with a heavy heart that we announce that Charity, our female falcon nesting at the WoodmenLife Tower, has died after a collision.
Charity arrived in 2015 and mated with Mintaka, our male falcon.
The falcon cam last spotted a bird 11 days ago. It is believed that Mintaka is searching for a new mate. We will know for sure if Mintaka has chosen to keep the WoodmenLife Tower as his home if he returns with his new mate by late February or early March to make their new nest. See how this story unfolds at falcons.woodmenlife.org in the coming months.

So sorry for the loss of Charity! It would seem there is already a new female ready to take over....

I am deeply saddened by this. :sorrow:

I wonder if the collision was as a result of being chased by this new female. could have been a territorial battle. that would make sense for a new one to be there so quick. ( I only say this as I believe that is how we lost one last year )

I think we mus t be braced for more of this , this year. year. Cherish the old, but open our hearts for the new. and in all of this we must remember, not to compare, as they all have their own ways, whether we agree or not. :flirty:
