Xavier away again, Di alone in the box.


Making a bowl (they do it often also in out breeding time).


No sign from Izzi during the day, the box is empty tonight again.

Great Spirit Bluff Falcons
Welcome to a cliff-face near La Crescent, Minnesota, overlooking the Mississippi River. This cozy hideaway is where peregrine falcons Michelle (banded) and Newman (unbanded) nest with their offspring. Raptor Resource Project
Founded in 1988 by the late Bob Anderson, the non-profit Raptor Resource Project specializes in the preservation of falcons, eagles, ospreys, hawks, and owls. We create, improve, and directly maintain over 50 nests and nest sites, provide training in nest site creation and management, and develop innovations in nest site management and viewing that bring people closer to the natural world. Our mission is to preserve and strengthen raptor populations, expand participation in raptor preservation, and help foster the next generation of preservationists.

The university owns 300 ha, but it's getting a bit so that our university farm is prime real estate, only 6 km from Orange.

Thank you Chimega for sharing!

Seira, Solo thank you very much for reporting and pics!
The close ups are great, Solo, thanks for sharing the links.

Diamond was in the box in late afternoon. Her headfeathers are wet.


Diamond on the stones, a nice feather lies in the box.


At that time Di came again for overnighting.
