There was a lot of falcon activity during the snow storm. One perched on the roof, then into the box, then out on the cam post. Meanwhile, the other one flew by. Lots of calling too. :) I posted the pictures in GSB picture gallery.
Lano hopes it was Christine coming home to see her. Christine was named in honor of our very own lanogirl! I thought it was Michelle but lano quickly nixed that because of this falcon's vertical stripes. Michelle has more horizontal stripes. Who knew!
Another long visit at the nest box this morning by what looks like the same Falcon that Lano and Bob Anderson determined was a juvie. It sat on top of the nest box, sat on the perch facing the Mississippi, faced the box awhile and did some hand puppet shadows. It's so great to see them coming back and hearing that LOUD scream they do. Love it!
More snips in Picture Gallery.

SCluvineagles did all the research and found the following information on the malar stripe, which is how Bob knew the falcon in Chico's video is a male juvenile.
