Peregrine Falcon - description
Welcome to the 6th Great Spirit Bluff Peregrine Falcon!
Great Spirit Bluff Falcons nest on a cliff near La Crescent, MN, overlooking the castle and dam on the Mississippi River. Falcons are not present all year round. Generally, they return in late February to early March, beginning courtship between early and mid-March, and laying eggs between late March and mid-April. Hatching should begin at the beginning of the month until mid-May; hatching usually occurs after 38-40 days, after which the young will disperse in late August or mid-September. Adults remain in the territory until late autumn. While the male and female depart at about the same time, they are not believed to migrate together.
At present, the nested female Michelle ringed P / 87 and the male Newman, which is not ringed.
Online broadcast from the nest has been broadcast by the nonprofit Raptor Resource Project since 2005. In total, the falcons brought 41 pups.

This is not a visit, they have long since seen their new home. First, the falcons lost their children and now their homes. Courtship is underway, so it will soon be permanently nested here!
It does not have to nest in the booth. As you write last season, on June 6, the barn owl took a young male from the nest. Two days later, he returned and took the young female Elise. So they have their own nest somewhere nearby.

Camera 1- a series of beautiful close-ups of falcons - with prey, on a tree and on a nest. It's hard to choose the best time, it's better to go down the bar.
10.8. - 22:00 Male Newman on land
7.8 Today there are beautiful shots of the female Nova 🙂
29.7 - 23:10 CET male Newman on perch
8.6 - Camera 1 - 08:30 CET the eagle owl took the second chick out of the nest 🙁 at 08:20 you can see on camera 2 sitting on a pole and looking at the camera and looking at the chick
unfortunately my premonition has come true, we have seen it several times, sad. This nest is still unlucky, it was last time
they were eliminating flies, now the female is still looking for them.
6.6 At night, a barn owl took one chick from its nest h https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stmO24txKMI&t=83s
sad even though his mother protected and fought him, she didn't stand a chance. So only one of the three remains and unfortunately the eagle owl chose this nest as its pantry
4.6. toddlers, it still has fluff and they are already trying to peek out of the nest, even though there is a barrier, so hopefully they will not look like their predecessors

27.5 Updating RRP
It's a year of ringing again! Our plan is to ring falcons at Great Spirit Bluff on Saturday, May 30th. The ventilator is on and we're starting to see black flies appearing after recent rains. Let's hope our two growing hairy chickens stay in the nest until then. We will have several repellents on hand as in other years.
16.5. are there only two little ones?
Hello Spring, yes, there are only two left.
Update RRP
Yesterday we lost our youngest falcon in the Great Spirit Bluff nest. We all encouraged our little one and hoped that his courage would help bridge the gap between him and his siblings. The newly hatched falcon could be without food for several days, but he seemed to miss him too much to maintain his strength. Competition with larger siblings for food is always a significant problem, and the larger the hatchery age gap, the more difficult it is to go through the first critical week of development. Many times it seemed difficult for our little one to get up and keep his beak open and in the right direction during the feeding period.
11.5. just in time for feeding
10.5 three puppies in the nest
8.5 the first cub is in the world!
