He did an excellent job – thebox was installed in 2006 and productive by the spring of 2007. Two adult females showed up at thenest box this year. In the early morning of 3/17/09, a 10-minute fight took place in the nest boxbetween the possible 2008 unbanded female, and the 2007 banded 30/B female. The unbanded femalewon rights to the nest box. 30/B went back to the Sherco plant, where she nested last year.Bob came to the Elk River Station and gave a presentation and talked to the students from the RogersMiddle School After School Environmental Explorers. They followed the progress of the ERS falconfamily, named the young eyasses, and attended the banding. Banders were Dan Orr and BrendaHoskyns, a GRE employee who follows the falcons very closely. Unfortunately, falcon Bella died aftercontracting Frounce. I’ve got some information published on our blog:• http://www.raptorresource.org/blog/2009/06/as-our-readers-know-falcon-bella-died.htmlBrenda Hoskyns went to the Raptor Center and got some Spartrix. We met at Great River Energy on 6/19and went up to the nest. Brenda got some water to help the young falcons get the pills down, which workedvery well. Bob got the falcons and Brenda and I held them while he dosed them with the Spartrix. One ofthem had large frounce lesions in its mouth, but as of this writing, all three are doing well.Year falcons first nested here: 2007 | Total young fledged from this location (2009): 916 - Raptor Resource Project Banding Report 2009
