If any of you frequent the CPF site, you will notice a flurry of updates today for the past few weeks. That's just because the log-in setup didnt' happen until today and we had some catching up to do...you guys already know this stuff already :)
Alison:
Thank you for the updates and the great pics, Carly!
allikat:
I wish we could see this family...the cam (s) are still down in some areas :(
Thanks Carly for all of your updates ;D
The Peregrine Chick:
Just had a look at your 13 day old chicks photo, your security guard could be right. By 21-24 days when be band, the chicks are adult size except they don't have flight feathers. Those chicks are no too too far from the size of the adult that is feeding them in that photo ...

So before I left the office today I witnessed a double feeding!! Mom was feeding the sproglings and they looked stuffed and dad comes in with another fresh kill....and I thought for sure she'd tell him go put that away these kids are stuffed..look at their crops!! No :o :o!! She starts defeathering the new arrival and two of the little piglets start grabbing at it like they haven't been fed for days..the other one starts picking at the darn bird itself as if it's going to feed itself!! It was hilarious, they ate for another 20 minutes straight- their crops were sticking out past their tummies I swear!!
One of the security guards that has been there 10 years watching them is convinced it's 3 girls! He might be right, they are all pretty close in size...gigantor!! But two are very yappy and the third seems quiet so it's either a shy girl or a big boy..we'll see, they are still young yet.
Anyway one thing I did notice the last 2 days is these guys are way more active at this age than last years crowd was. I thought for sure the 2 yappy ones were going to jump out of the box a few times today! It's cute watching mom trying to control them and point them towards the back of the box ... I love them :D
