The Peregrine Chick:
WARNING: The April 29TH video of the 2nd chick hatching & dying is graphic and may disturb more than a few members.
(the quality of the image in a way makes it even more disturbing)
The Peregrine Chick:
Makes me wonder if something was wrong with the chick ... saw the video and she was pretty deliberate. Since one chick had already hatched and she is quite maternal with it, it seems odd that she should behave so differently with the second chick. Couldn't get a good look at the chick but Jules who was hyper protective of her kids, had a chick with deformities, she just tucked her healthy chick under her (that was Polo) and sat watching her only other chick six inches away from her as it lay drying out in the sun. I got a look at the chick and it wouldn't have made it and she knew that right from hatch and was able to make that decision right at the point of hatching. She let it die quickly in the warm afternoon sun and then (as I recall) removed it from the nestbox in the middle of the night.

Apparently she killed it and fed it to the first one. :'( :'( I didn't personally see it so we'll see what happened when the site admin posts later on today. Let's hope the third one they say is hatching now survives.
