Went down on Sunday and watched an adult soar in the bright blue sky around and around the building.  Pictures are coming.  Checked on the Little Guy and he seems to be active and a very enthusiastic eater.  Jubilee has occasionally only been feeding him. 

Four eyases in Jersey City.  The last one hatched Sunday 36 hours or more after the third one.  I have been watching several feedings and watched Athena move them around.  That fourth one is so much smaller, much like Water St, that it is hard to know if it is OK.  Just thought I saw it move its head.  It is now in the middle of the pile and probably doesn't need much food before it konks out.

*****Updated 4 pm.  We think we lost the last one and there are only three.*******

Keep your fingers crossed for these guys, too.

NJFish&Wildlife may have some news soon about a recent offspring.  It is one that I got to see live and in person.  We are waiting impatiently.

Rochester falcons rule! Watch out, Canada.

Banding is May 12 at 10 am EDT.  They will show it live on the web cam.

Still three and one egg at 9 am.  Athena is not moving off the hatchlings very much.  The first chick remains a wanderer.  It is continually crawling out from under her and she is pushing it back in. 

right now that works for me

 

I watched the hatches and third hatch with my students.  It is very exciting.  The fourth will come along shortly.  This is a special clutch.  I'll report about that later.

There is always tomorrow and next year.  Let's keep our fingers crossed.  Lots of fingers crossed.

Big deformed rat.

Rochester Falcon People have an even farther reach.  Because of the group, I now watch 55 Water Street, 101 Hudson in Jersey City and Riverside Church peregrines.  My reports and pictures are at all three sites.  You cannot know how appreciative the folks at all three places are.  They love knowing what happens to the falcons after they fledge and they LOVE the pictures.

I encourage everyone to get out and see their local peregrine falcons.  It is truly exciting.  You never know what will happen next.  I never suspected where this would lead. 

Then I got into eagles...  That's an off peregrine season thing.

Great report and pictures.  I am sooooo glad there are only two eggs.  Totally manageable for first time parents.

i feel like they are my babies.  I'll be there when they fledge.

Thanks, too.  It seems Quest has taken over rfalconcam from Beauty and Archer.  Only fitting since she is from the last clutch of Mariah and Kaver.   There is a special bond to all of us here.  Now I'm teary eyed.

Are we thinking Mother's Day or May 11 or so?

I can't believe it has been two years since we heard about Linn.  I thought someone posted something winter 2010.  And the Jersey City Linn was also spotted somewhere.
