Yankee and Dixie have their 1st hatch.  Doesn’t sound like it’s doing too well, from FB page posts.

(There are many 2018 posts on the UB 2017 page that should be brought over here)

Baby is fine, I saw it get fed a little while ago.  Probably just exhausted from pecking it's way out of the shell..that's hard work for a wee one

A message from the Department of Environmental Conservation:

On May 24, DEC staff were working carefully to band two peregrine chicks at the University at Buffalo nest box, which has been a productive site since the spring of 2009. Banding young birds in nests each year enables biologists to track productivity and populations of peregrine falcons. Upon opening the box to access the nestlings, one chick bumped the other off the edge to the ground below. This rare and unfortunate incident occurred quickly and was unavoidable. To ensure the safety of future nestlings, DEC will assess future banding efforts at this site. We regret the loss of this young peregrine.

 How terribly sad! Fly free, little one.

How awful! I never realized the danger of banding. Hopefully the remaining baby will do OK by himself.
