Sad news this morning from this site.  They had two hatches this year and last night a bad storm with 100km/hr winds may have blown both the babies out of the nest as it's empty this morning and they were still white fluffies so no way they could fly.  Chicks missing at Woodman as well although some are being heard, if not seen on cam so a few may have survived the storms.

Lincoln is reporting that maintenance workers found the bodies of the two babies this morning.  Sad 

Good news from Woodman though, they are reporting all 4 chicks survived the storm.  I guess there is an area behind the box they can get to hence the empty nest boxes this morning.

One of the 2012 juvies from the Lincoln nest has shown up in Texas. That year there were two chicks, both male. After banding, they were named Lewis and Clark in a "name the chicks" contest.

Lewis (10/R) has travelled a long way from Lincoln, Nebraska to The Woodlands, Texas -- about 849 miles. I wonder if he is spending the winter there. His parents, Alley and 19/K, do not migrate, so I find it a little surprising that Lewis has gone so far south.



Lewis is a very handsome tiercel. I think he looks like his Dad, with his solid dark hood:





Lewis and his brother at banding:

Didn't I read that 19K was looking around recently at another nest somewhere?  Must be he decided to go back home.

It is a small nest, and I think it is very unsafe. It is very windy up there, and there is not enough protection for eggs or chicks.

You probably remember that the chicks were swept out of the nest in a storm last year. And way back in 2008, all three chicks were also lost from this nest in wet weather.

I wish that they would replace this unsuitable nest box with a strong, well built nest box with sides, a roof, and the bottom part of the front closed in. I think it could be the difference between chicks who survive and chicks who don't survive.

Just my opinion.

Yes, 19/K went to the Woodmen nest in Omaha in February, which belongs to his son Mintaka. On March 7 they battled for the nest, and Mintaka won. 19/K returned to his mate and his nest in Lincoln.

In December of 2014, Lewis, born at the Lincoln nest in 2012, was sighted in The Woodlands, Texas.

In December of 2015, Lewis was identified once again in Texas, at the same building in Houston where he had been seen a year ago. He must really like that area.

There were two chicks born in Lincoln in 2012; Lewis and his brother Clark. Clark, too, is alive and well. He has his own nest and mate at a Nebraska power plant; he and his mate raised chicks in 2015.
