2017 Nestbox News
April 12

On Friday, April 7, I accompanied Ben Wurst to the rooftop to fix the outside camera. As Ben was working on replacing the old Pan-Tilt-Zoom camera and rewiring connections, I walked about the roof. Both falcons were close by but neither in the nest box (as webcam watchers know already). Above the nest box was a dead, uneaten American woodcock, which is an amazing and unlikely prey item in the city! Woodcock are migrating and using marshy areas now, and also do twilight aerial maneuvers that might make them vulnerable to fast-flying falcons.
The female, 41/AX, was perched on the parapets of the roof and always within sight of the nest. It’s curious that she was not especially upset at our presence, and she was quite non-vocal, which is unusual for the start of the nesting season. As I walked past her to check other areas of the roof, she stayed perched for the most part. It was only when the tiercel came over that she flew – with him and vocalizing. He ended up flying fast display patterns for her, and she seemed to invite him toward the nest box with her calls. Ben completed his work on the roof and was inside, and as I kept a watch on the pair, they came together on a parapet perch to copulate.
So there is still hope for these birds and this nesting season! We hope to see the first egg any day now.

91/BA seems to also be developing a brood patch as she was observed plucking or preening feathers from her chest as well. A brood patch in falcons develops with the help of hormones, which helps to thicken the skin and loosens the feathers on the chest that usually is bare of feathers. This happens so that the bird can have direct contact between skin and eggs, keeping the eggs and chicks warm. You might notice that the falcons will rock side to side when laying on the eggs. Rocking helps to expose area to the eggs. It may just be that she is slowly getting comfortable with the incubation process and her role. Only time will tell.
