In 2022 "Mrs. Robinson was 21 years old. Her nest was not successful for the last two years, possibly due to her age. She was banded by Greg Kearns in Maryland and Cable Risdon was able to photograph her band in 2021.. We are hoping to see her again in 2023.

Nest was active as of 6/7/2022. By 6/28 nest was abandoned for unknown reason.

There was one egg unhatched in the nest. The female is banded and she is 21 years old this year.

Mrs. Robinson is back. Verified her band number. 21 years old!
