Mark Nash Reports:
With many thanks to Kariann from Michigan USA, we have received an update on Miriam - banded (blk 89/H) that has been sucessfully nesting and producing for the past five years in Detroit Mich. USA. is still holding the territory at the Whittier Hotel here in Detroit , same male and same nesting balcony. She is as tough as ever, defending her nesting balcony throughout the entire winter (my volunteer and I joke and say as we approach the 14th floor of the building that Miriam already knows we are here and is ready to fight). She has 4 eggs this year, one looks a bit dented however. Her male, Allegro from Ohio , has been sharing the duties of incubation so we expect to see young mid May. She had only one chick last year, so we are hoping for a better season at her site. We discovered that one of her 2006 chicks, 30/C, is now nesting at our Mt. Clemens County Building site (he must have out competed the original male over the winter). It is funny to see the ‘tough’ gene shine through Miriam’s young - because this site is prevalent with turkey vultures and every time one gets even close to his building he attacks (the previous male Horus really didn’t bother with them).
