WoodmenLife   crying

It is with a heavy heart that we announce that Charity, our female falcon nesting at the WoodmenLife Tower, has died after a collision.

Charity arrived in 2015 and mated with Mintaka, our male falcon.

The falcon cam last spotted a bird 11 days ago. It is believed that Mintaka is searching for a new mate. We will know for sure if Mintaka has chosen to keep the WoodmenLife Tower as his home if he returns with his new mate by late February or early March to make their new nest.

See how this story unfolds at falcons.woodmenlife.org in the coming months.

I’ve watched this nest for years and was so sad to read of the loss of Charity.  I do hope Mintaka finds a new mate and returns to this nest site in the future. Fly free, Charity..you’ll be missed.  sorrow

It is very sad to have lost Charity. She was a very beautiful peregrine, a wonderful mother to her chicks, and a loyal mate to Mintaka.  crying

According to the Woodmen site, she had a collision with a window while chasing a pigeon.

It has been difficult to know what was happening at the nest this winter. In previous years, I have usually seen a bird at the other nest on many occasions during the winter, and sometimes one at each nest. This year, with the five small cams down since October of last year, there has appeared to be little activity at the nest.

The last time I saw the bird I believe to be Charity was on December 13:

Apart from some back views through a very dirty window, I have not seen much activity at the nest.

One was on top of the nest box a couple of days ago:
