Well, it's been a few weeks since we were introduced to both the male and the female in the WoodmenLife Tower nest. However, there's not been much activity recently. Every time we check out the nest, we will see one or the other, but not both. The male falcon seems to like the north nest, as we find him perched on it quite frequently. Last year, we saw our first egg on March 26, so we are hoping to see an egg soon, but the female doesn't seem particularly interested in "nesting."
Also, for those interested in our 2015 chicks, Last fall, we tried to release Charlotte off the roof of the Tower, but she had a tough time taking flight so she was taken back to the Raptor Recovery for additional rehab. We recently spoke with Denise at Fontenelle Forest's Raptor Recovery Refuge, who updated us that because she was deemed non-releasable by HDZ earlier this year, Charlotte will be on permanent display the Raptor Woodlands Refuge. While we are disappointed she won't be in her true habitat, we are happy she will be safe and secure in the refuge.
Keep watching the falconcam and if you get a good picture of the couple in their digs, share it with us here or on our Twitter feed.
