"Misty" went infertile in 2014, "Velocity" mated with her for 10 weeks that year, and produced no eggs. 2015, this year, "Velocity" again mated with "Misty" two weeks after their normal due date for eggs, and with no eggs, "Velocity" brought "Vixen" into the nest site, two weeks later, she laid four eggs. Hatched four chicks. But we lost two that fell out of the nest site ledge. less than two weeks for the two surviving Falcons to fledge. To see this years episodes:
