For those who don't know - Yankee got his foot stuck in the nest box the other day and it took him hours to get out. His foot is badly injured and he's laying in the nest box right now. He can fly but he could hardly stand up the other day and had to his wings to get up. Very similar to Archer back in the day. It's hard to watch but he can fly so DEC can't get to him unless he goes to ground.
Some think they need to have natural breeding grounds, like cliffs but this year seems to be a bit early for some falcons, laying eggs so early. Nottingham flooded one year didn't it and the chicks died? I agree, it's time for a new covered nest! Poor girl, feel so bad and if she leaves, the egg will probably freeze. Remember Hartford's Amelia......she was covered, I mean covered in snow and she was on eggs but they hatched, so miracles do happen! Praying!!
