Title: Tacony-Palmyra Bridge, Palmyra Cove, New Jersey Post by: AlisonL on 14-Jan-16, 11:33:20 AM The cams are back up at the Tacony-Palmyra Bridge nest site, and at least one of the peregrines has started to visit the nest.
I think it would be very difficult for chicks to fledge into the maze of metal surrounding the nest, with the river below.

Last year, this pair raised one chick. http://www.palmyracove.org/FalconCam.aspx (http://www.palmyracove.org/FalconCam.aspx) Title: Re: Tacony-Palmyra Bridge, Palmyra Cove, New Jersey Post by: AlisonL on 02-Apr-17, 04:11:03 PM Last year, the Tacony-Palmyra pair raised three chicks. Three were banded, but it seems that one was lost at fledging. The details provided were "One fledgling DOR 6/7." Not sure what DOR stands for.
On August 6, 2016, a male juvie from this nest, banded 94/AM, was killed at Harrisburg Airport. :( So only one of last year's juvies is still potentially out there somewhere. Title: Re: Tacony-Palmyra Bridge, Palmyra Cove, New Jersey Post by: AlisonL on 02-Apr-17, 04:19:03 PM This year, the female laid her first egg on March 18. I have not seen her off the eggs since March 25, when there were three eggs.
Now, she is incubating five beautiful eggs! I have never seen five eggs at this nest before. (https://picload.org/image/rcgwlaol/palmyra-apr-2-7b.jpg) Title: Re: Tacony-Palmyra Bridge, Palmyra Cove, New Jersey Post by: MAK on 02-Apr-17, 04:58:19 PM :clap:

The Palmyra beauty has been spending quite a bit of time at the nest lately: (https://picload.org/image/dalggocr/palmyra-mar-10-1a.jpg) (https://picload.org/image/dalggoca/palmyra-mar-10-7a.jpg) She stayed for a while, and when she moved, her first egg came into view: (https://picload.org/image/dalggocl/palmyra-mar-10-11a.jpg) http://www.palmyracove.org/FalconCam.aspx (http://www.palmyracove.org/FalconCam.aspx) |
