carly:
8 eggs!!! Holy :o That surely must be a record? I hope Larry is okay too! He sure is cute!
Alison:
Still haven't heard anything about last year's juvies, but this year the falcons laid eight eggs!
Four eggs hatched, and three male chicks were banded: Larry, band black/red 88/A; Moe, band black/red 89/A; and Curly, band black/red, 40/D.
Larry is currently in rehab after being found injured on the ground. He has a fractured right leg and fractured right wing. He is doing quite well so far.
The eight eggs .... three chicks
Larry in rehab. I hope he makes a full recovery and can be released.

I haven't seen any updates so far. Perhaps when this year's annual report comes out, there will be some news.
bcbird:
2009 NESTING SEASON
Is there any word on the outcome of this nest from last year?
Alison:
2008 NESTING SEASON
--- Quote from: The Peregrine Chick on July 10, 2008, 13:14 ---I would be surprised if all six hatched, it would pretty much be a record I think ... And Donna is a first year female so not unusual for her to have fewer young, look at Radisson in Edmonton, only one chick this year, and I believe they are the same age.
I think the reason they haven't advertised the nest is that it is exceedingly inaccessible, you haven't had a pair for a number of years, its a new female and she laid late in the game, all/any of which could mean no successful nesting this year ...
I will certainly post an update about anything I hear !!

I'd be very interested in any updates about this nest, and whether all six eggs hatched. I don't know if that would be a record, but here is one possible candidate for the record. At the Alliant Plant this year in Pardeeville, Wisconsin, the female laid seven eggs, and six hatched. Six chicks were banded. The adult female at this site is unbanded, the male is banded black/green, ?/N.
Here is a photo of the six chicks. Photo by Greg Septon.
