For folks new to the Forum and the peregrines, the white feathers that RaptorGal is talking about is the first of three different phase of feathers the chicks will grow before they migrate out in the autumn. This first phase is down which by the time they are 10-11 days old will cover their entire bodies (at the moment it doesn't) ane it will help the chicks to thermoregulate their own body temperatures. By the time we band them (21-25 days old) their flight feathers will start to show through the down feathers and by 45 days old, there will only be a wisp or two of down showing on their heads.

TPC, with all the information about our Royals, it help a great deal to have the knowledge of a meteorologist. I, for one appreciate it when you post these long range forecasts. My birthday is next month, can you tell me what the weather will be? ??? seriously, thank you for all your expertise, the entire forum appreciates everthing you do for us. :-*

Princess was looking into the camera and if looks could kill, we'd all be dead! What a glare, I think she could almost stop her prey with just that glance. I'm glad we can watch all this from a safe distance. :-\
