Ask the Peregrine Chick - How it Works
birdcamfan:
TPC, I hope you can answer this question which is about owls (Sorry, I know this is a PF site). I have looked everywhere for the answer but have not been able to find it. I have watched owls choke down their prey basically whole. Even the chicks seem able to swallow something that is only slightly smaller than themselves. It sometimes takes up to a minute. How do they do this and breathe at the same time??

I work in the Fort Rouge area & I'm 98.5% sure that we have a set of peregrine falcon's. The nest is setup high in a tree (very large nest) along the Red River. I'm pretty sure she has already laid her eggs & they to should be hatching anyday. The nest is approximatelyi located at the end of the walk thru, between 376 Osborne St and 360 Osborne St
Thanks!

I saw that too and posted about it on the CBC Falcon Cam thread.

8) :'( It's been a "slice" as they say watching these beautiful birds. It's such a great opportunity! Thank you to all involved, and hope all the fledlings that are surviving do well. Is Carson returning home soon before the "shut down" for this year. Hope to hear/see them soon.

Thank you for the info Tracy. Actually I do think I remember reading it was based on foot size in years past. And to think with all the technology we have it all boils down to the size of a foot... ::) . They definitely need to grow into those big feet of theirs!
