Just got notice that a second one has hatched! 3 more to go!

Can't even get on that cam, they only allow 100 viewers and it's over the limit!

http://youtu.be/dui1lOeKbb4  These 2 were not putting up with the researchers near their babies! You can hear the hits!

There was another video put out last year also.

20 hrs ago
The University of Toledo in Ohio keeps a peregrine falcon nesting box on the top of the university clock tower. Every year, the state Department of Natural Resources' Division of Wildlife temporarily removes the falcon's chicks from the box to take blood samples and attach bands to their legs for tracking. However, the grown-up falcons are not thrilled about this, and dive-bomb the researchers the entire time, like in this video from the 2012 banding. Peregrine falcons can achieve top diving speeds of up to 200 mph, and even though these falcons probably aren't going that fast, they're traveling fast enough to make all their sharp bits pretty dangerous. Hence the researchers' wooden shields. Is there a falcon whisperer of some sort the university can contact for this year?

If what Mme Owl brought in was actually a white-winged dove, and the wing-edge markings appear consistent with that possibility, that would make this the largest prey item I’ve ever seen any of my owls deliver to the nest in 13 years of observation.

13 years? Not quite on the edge of 17.

Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singing
Whoo, whoo, whoo.

I'd like to hear it! (Far cry from a moth)  scared blue

Oh, I so wish I'd been paying attention back in 2008 when "the glorious five" were being raised here in Rochester.  What a joyous time that must have been! 

 Every year was joyous since I've been watching 2002/2003 season! I was hooked when I first saw Mariah/Kaver  heart  and back then you had to refresh the cams! My, how far we have come since!
