Beauty and the Eyases.

All up front, watching mom!

Dot.ca visits the nest box (no food) and Beauty comes to check up on him.  

You better not have food in that talon...

 

Thanks for posting these Carly!  Thanks to Tracy, Linda and Lisa for writing these reports. So much activity up north.  Our CPF friends are very busy this time of year!

6:41 am - Beauty Feeds the Eyases

and just to let everyone know, Lou is the one that came up with this wonderful design!  Thanks Lou!   

And the two falcon chicks are....female! Today, after being scooped from the nest by Mary Hennen from the Field Museum, the chicks were brought inside for banding, blood draws, measurement, and a viewing for the crowd of approximately 130 falcon fans. Josh Engel, from the Field Museum, assisted Mary. The falcons now have names, at least according to us humans. The names are Wrigley, in honor of Wrigley Field's 100th anniversary and Tory, in honor of Roger Tory Peterson, a naturalist who wrote many books about birds including the well-known Peterson Field Guides

That's great news Dale!  They always choose great names.   

This eyas is even further along than the other one.  Little tail feathers appearing.   

Beauty brings in food at 2:49 pm.

Wow!  Look at the feathers coming in on that eyases wing!

Lunchtime by Beauty!

Beauty and Dot.ca on guard together!

Beauty leaves and Dot.ca is there in a flash!

"Oh good, she's gone and I can sneak in!" My goodness, he cuts quite a dashing figure.

Drats!  Didn't read the message until just now.

I'm sure there will be more offers by Zazzle Bonnie.  We'll post them here as we see them.
