Hi All,
We now have four falcon chicks being cared for at this site. All eggs hatched and we are watching these birds grow rapidly. In about six weeks they will be beginning to fly. It all happens fast for falcons.
In the meantime watch for these chicks to be fed regularly. Are you able to identify any of the prey items?
All the Best,

Oh my word....Banding! Might we see some great video again this year of ~4~ chicks being banded??!! There's a raffle I'd love to win - a seat on the banding expedition!
ReplyDeleteThe chicks are wonderful to watch, now that I'm over the fear of losing the last hatched, they're so fragile compared to those just days older. You all at BRI must be beside yourselves with 4 peregrine chicks! Congrats.

I was watching a feedin last week and noticed one of the prey items was a Gold Finch.

ReplyDeleteIt is such a thrill to watch these 4 chicks growing up! I was afraid that the youngest one might not get enough food, but, they all look healthy and strong.
