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.

Camera 1- 9.3.- 14: 20SEČ At the booth a female without rings, the male Newman flies out of the booth. She comes back and you fall, he wants to be her partner 🙂
Hello Marcelo, this is "our" female Nova. I'm glad she won over the competition 🙂 Have a nice evening 🙂
8.3. 20,56 cut it looks like Nina, she's been waiting here a long time. She was different in the booth, but she probably is Newman climbed now
8.3. UPDATE - RRP
What's up in Great Spirit Bluff?
Newman returned on February 24 and Nova returned on February 25. Since then, Newman has courted at least three other females: 53 / M KJ, 2016 SE hatched at Racine County Counthyouse in Racine, WI;
An uncirculated female that we believe is Nova;
Amheran 92 / X, 2018 hatched at Skidmore Bluff in Hagar, WI and Nina M / 04, 2019 from the University of Wisconsin in Milwaukee.
Where did Nova go? Did one of the falcons Newman courted kill her?
Not necessarily. Falcon fights are not always dead: one female can drive away another. The female can return later to try to regain her nest, she could try to take another nest, or she could skip breeding for a whole year. We're not sure where Nova is right now: all we know is that falcon Nina M / 04 is interested in Newman. This is not the first time she has appeared here: she also visited the nest briefly on April 13 last year, when she was one year old.
Why are so many female falcons appearing on the bluff this year?
Males return from migration earlier than females. They establish territories and attract returning females with luxurious flying, vocalizations and food donations. Without a companion, Newman courts every woman who roams his territory, and we are at the peak of the return of the female falcons! Most breeding females will be on their territory in mid-March, so it will not be long before this year's Bird Bachelor season ends.

8.3. UPDATE FEMALE M / 04
Ringed female M / 04… Nina was seen yesterday for the first time this year at 12:57. Ever since she was here on April 13, 2020, Nina has grown into a beautiful young adult female. After her hair this year, her feathers will look like full-grown feathers.
Nina is the fifth female to visit Newman at Bluff this year. Newman has been back at Bluff for 11 days. There seem to be a lot of female falcons passing through the area. Nina landed at the nest box last year, while Nova was on an incubation break and Newman incubated. Nina visited Newman at the box for about 22 minutes before leaving. Newman didn't consider her a threat, so he just watched her while incubating, and they talked. Photo M / 04 April 13, 2020 in the nest with Newman.
Nina hatched on May 11, 2019 in Milwaukee - Wisconsin. It was ringed 3.6. 2019 ring number - M / 04 federal ring no. 1947 - 41547
7.3.- 20: 00SEČ A foreign falcon with an M 04 ring on a rock and in a nest. A female Nova has a 92 X on the ring, a male Newman does not have a ring. The colors of the alien and female rings are the same.
Before 23:00 CET, a foreign falcon, probably a female, arrives at another falcon (Newman?), Which is hidden under a rock overhang. Later, the male brings the prey under the overhang and the foreign female immediately takes it over
Hello Petro. The ring number I gave at Nova may not be correct. I took a picture of him on my cell phone when she was already around the nest. But, as stated in the update, there were already five females, so the ring could belong to one of them. It occurred to me only when I sent the post that I should have put the word "probably" there. I would also like to thank the eagles for their answer. Have a nice day 🙂
Hello Marcela, you entered the ring number correctly. I also wish you a nice day 🙂 Snow has been flying here since morning 🙂

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.

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

30.5 today the cubs should be circling
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
