Incubation Update

Things are going well with incubation.
Regular mate changes are occurring every 2 to 4 hours. 30/Z regularly brings Durand food.

While we are impatiently waiting for the first egg to hatch, I thought I would review a little history of Durand and 30/Z's longevity with the Columbus nest.

Durand arrive in Columbus around July 18^th, 2010. Based on her color band (All black 32/X) we determined that she was the 2009 product of a nest in Hamilton, Ontario Canada.

After 2 failed nesting seasons in 2011 and 2012, Durand and Spark (Blk/red 32/B) produced 1 chick in 2013.

From 2013 to 2016 Columbus had the same nesting pair (Durand and Spark).

2014 produced 3 chicks (Dart (38/D), Blaze (48/Z), and Hoshi (31/Z))

2015 produced 3 chicks (Bolt (N/34), Flash 37/Z) and Storm (46/Z))

2016 produced 4 chicks (No Banding)

2017: Durand and a new male (30/Z) produced 4 chicks (Last nesting season at the Rhodes Tower)

               30/Z is a male from the 2014 Bowling Green nest.

2018: We did not know where or if a nesting occurred

2019: Durand and 30/Z produced 4 chicks
