moka:
Yikes  :o they have grown overnight, AGAIN!

These are well fed little chicks.

Jo:
Chicks are cuddled up under parent (Ivy I think) - which is really hard to do as they are getting bigger very ten minutes.  ;)

The Peregrine Chick:

From what I have seen she is as wonderful a parent as any other year.
I shouldn't read those comments, so many of them make me upset.

I believe she is a new falcon cam watcher.  She is comparing the mothering that Princess is doing with her chicks to the incubating behavior that Hurricane is doing with the eggs.  Yes, the behaviors are remarkably different but then so are live hungry chick piles compared to eggs. Princess has the years of experience behind her and I would trust her much more so than the little bit of experience that Hurricane has.  She knows what to do.

Not to worry, the CBC commenter is in for a shock when the McKenzie Seeds chicks hatch - Hurricane is a good mother but she is very different, there is alot more passing over the chicks to Brooklyn than there is to Ivy - or at least there has been in previous years.  We'll of course have to see about this year, but with four chicks and being a small female, I suspect Hurricane and Brooklyn will shift change pretty regularly as they have in previous years.  Not a bad thing, keeps both parents rested and fed.  Sometimes you can tell that Princess is hungrier than the chicks at meal times ... good thing Ivy keeps a very plentiful stash of "snacks" for the kids and Princess.

Liz:
I'm always amazed how fast they change in 48 hours! (I notice it more at 48 than 24)

birdcamfan:
It won't be long 'til those black stubs of feathers are poking through the fluff. I love that.
