Look at the size of the FEET!!!!

All 4 were banded today, I can't find their genders yet.




Right now both VM and VV in box with kids!


2 males, one female and a doubter probably also a female but with little feet

At first it does look at way, but looking longer, it just looks like a feather up against the egg.

Hmm, hard to tell!!

Yes Patricia, I think your right, it is a feather!! Had to blow up bigger!! 

Egg looks hollow? Cracked!   

Congratulations george and pigott on 2 possibly 3 hatchlings!!!
Hatch date is still unknown.
I can audibly confirm 2 possibly 3 hatchlings.
I have will keep everyone updated the best I can.

 Erin and Stormin are living on the west faces ledges of the same nest building. Yesterday 3p.m. food to the ledge. Both Erin and Stormin seen at the same time, on the same ledge. Both disappeared behind the dark, shadowy pillar.

If you take a good look at the photos that were posted on the CPF website, that is not a peregrine falcon the male was "brooding" It was prey. The colouring and feathering of the remains, does not match that of a raptor. These two have been very sneaky. We had a suspicion that they had moved the nest. The spot they have chosen is very tight to see. The behaviour I had been seeing was not of a predators in the area or anything else, but Erin was not in view at any time. Stormin was always seen, until I saw Erin on the top of high condo tower. Just had to get out there and follow her, to the west side of the nest building. Flights to this side of building is not direct but twisting and dodging other buidlings, and they don't always take the same route to get to the new nest. From what I have been seeing, I would not doubt that there is a hatch.

I noticed those black spots too, was hoping it wasn't a worry, but now seems like it could be serious?

Don't recall seeing them so pronounced or we would have said something last year!!

OK, found one from last years hatch! The new little guy has some black under his wing!!

No clue what this is!! I don't recall seeing this on the babies in the past!! I'll check my photos!!



These are from last year.......no black. Hmmm!!!

Cute family moment!

Carson, an 11 year-old peregrine falcon, somehow escaped during an educational presentation in Manila. “He was seen off and on all day, but he wouldn’t come to us because he probably wasn’t hungry enough,�Humboldt Wildlife Care Center’s Linda Parkinson told KHUM today.

Dorothy in the news again!! 

Dorothy, the age-defying and possibly record-tying peregrine falcon on the University of Pittsburgh’s Cathedral of Learning in Oakland, celebrated Mother's Day by becoming a mom for the 43rd time

First hatch at Toledo, and Liadan's obvious inexperience is really scary to watch!
