Jeanne Yup...EPL (http://www.epl.org/falconcam/)cam...four eggs, last one laid 03/30 so hatching should start soon! Title: Re: a video from last year-- chicago Post by: dale on 30-Apr-10, 07:57:42 PM Jeanne, that's the same 3rd floor scrape I've been watching for a few years.
These albums (and others I posted) are all of that nest; the female is Nonna and the tiercel is Squawker. http://www.kodakgallery.com/gallery/creativeapps/slideShow/Main.jsp?token=669801453506%3A802591933&sourceId=533754321803&cm_mmc=eMail-_-Share-_-Photos-_-Sharee http://www.kodakgallery.com/gallery/creativeapps/slideShow/Main.jsp?token=869801453506%3A296449811&sourceId=533754321803&cm_mmc=eMail-_-Share-_-Photos-_-Sharee Title: Re: a video from last year-- chicago Post by: dale on 30-Apr-10, 08:02:02 PM it's already too dark here to see into the scrape; we were expecting a hatch all day...

What ever happened to the pair that was nesting on a fire escape? Title: Re: a video from last year-- chicago Post by: dale on 30-Apr-10, 08:35:14 PM Zoom and g/g. Still there, still going strong.
Those are the Uptown Theater falcons; I live pretty close to that one too. Title: Re: a video from last year-- chicago Post by: Dumpsterkitty on 30-Apr-10, 08:56:24 PM Glad to hear they're still there!
