Hera spent time at the nest today, and did some excavating in the scrape:

I've been following them and that box is getting pretty small!  Saw the video of Hera feeding them-so cute!

I believe that Zeus is 18 yrs. old -I don't know about Hera.

Zeus was born in 1994, Rochester NY (#X/R).  Hera appeared in 2006, after Zeus' long-time mate Amelia died.  Hera is unbanded.  (This from the Woodmen website.)

Am I correct that Zeus was captive hatched in Rochester then hack released in the mid-west?

Kitty, that is my understanding from Woodmen's family tree page and info on Zeus.  He is banded.

Then he is one of the original birds released during the initial recovery efforts. Amazing!

Just found this link where Dennis Money mentions that Zeus is still producing in Omaha, from the original 1994 release of the Minnesota falcons.   thumbsup

Small world, after all!  I had just wanted to update this page with the 'lost' pics on the eggs and eyas, and then I got to reading more closely on their website.  Zeus has fathered a bunch of babies, that's for sure.  At least Woodmen now has a statement asking for folks to report any sightings of their offspring.  And their webcam is okay with minimal sound, but Rochester still has the best!
