Big nest box fight here tonight, I missed it but they said it went on for over 1.5 hours. Two males and a female all in box fighting.
And another fight earlier at Genoa Plant, two females and looks like the resident female may have won.
I have to wonder sometimes if any foresight was given to what would happen when the population came back. I'm sure they fought back in the day but they nested on cliff sites then and since then all the cliffs have either eroded or been bulldozed for urban sprawl. And the recovery falcons all want to nest on buildings since most were born there. I wonder that they never realized that locations for nest boxes would be limited especially in cities where tall buildings lean more towards condos and people that pay a half million or more for a condo don't welcome falcons as they can't access their balconies for spring/summer months. This is the worst year I've seen since I started following falcons in the last 10 years.
I can't imagine watching 3 in a box fighting for an hour and a half!

The roof on that nest box looks a little rough. Good luck to them this year!
