On the archives cam 4 @ 1.04, it looks like there are bands on that prey.

Could be-just let's not tell the racing pigeon people...

Beauty brought a big lunch @ 1... munchkins very eager to eat!

OK-is it just me or does that look like a chicken straight from the supermarket? 

I don't know, but it looked almost as big as DC when she first brought it in! And there were lots of leftovers...

I guess won't have to worry about UT showing up any more.

He sure does love his babies!

Beauty is probably taking a bath about now...pretty much cooped up in the nest box since Friday

Main cam catches its 1st poop shot of the season!

Nice to see that the plumbing is working!

Speaking of eyes, there's something I've always wondered about. Do falcons ever blink? Do they ever even close their eyes? I've never seen either. Do they possibly have a third eyelid membrane like cats do?

They have a nictating membrane that closes from the bottom



and I've seeing Beauty blink at night with it-the night lights on the stream making it very visible because it's very quick.

I've read that there's another thinner membrane that crosses from front to back when they're stooping. I don't have a picture of it handy.

They don't actually close their eye-just the inner lids

Then Beauty was back to supervise again...and letting him know when they'd had enough

No worries about not enough food this year...
