WoodmenLife has some new neighbors in the nest!
It looks like we have some new Peregrine neighbors moving into the WoodmenLife North Falcon Nest. And while they haven’t introduced themselves by allowing us a clear shot of their bands, we can make a few assumptions from some recent photos taken by avid falcon-watchers on our WoodmenLife Falcon Cam.
2/19: Thanks to Falcon Watcher “Terka” who was able to get the clearest shot of our current male falcon — the band appears to be 19K. For those of you who don’t know the history. 19K, Mintaka’s father and who, for many years, has been the “lord of the manor” in Lincoln, NE at the capitol building, was the male that challenged Mintaka in April, 2015 for the nest and was soundly kicked out. See the video.
3/6: Falcon-watcher “Lisa” got a good picture of both falcons in the nest, and assuming the one IN the nest is 19K, the falcon perched on the side of the nest would be an unbanded female. Charity, our female from 2015, was unbanded as well.
It looks to be a year of change in the WoodmenLife Falcon Nest, so as the nest gett active keep up on the latest happenings by following us on Twitter AND tuning in to the Live Falcon Cam.
