On April 7, Kevin Hicks, UB/McKay, reported a fight outside the nestbox between three Pefas, with the fourth, presumably the female, Misty, screeching in the box.
Today, April 22, NYSDEC tech Mike climbed the tower and checked the nestbox and found a Pefa low, in the back corner of the box, apparently incubating! This is wonderful news! Also this morning, we took these shots of the tower.
