McKenzie Seeds - 2012 / Brooklyn & Hurricane
The Peregrine Chick:
Both falcons were observed on the 4th, so we are just about two weeks of courting etc, so although "they" say two weeks of copulation before egg-laying I think we are technically a bit early for eggs here yet. However, Hurricane has spent a huge amount of time on the box edges today. Brooklyn goes in and out frequently but she likes to just sit and today she has been sitting on the box edge in the rain for hours. Specifically, she is in the north side of the box, that's the side closest to the camera, the corner with the angled edge to the roof so no protection for her from the rain. Didn't seem to faze her, she just stayed there and napped. Could be that two weeks is all these two need ...
Kinderchick:
I, too, have watched the videos. Thanks for posting them, TPC. They really appear to like landing on the perch pole and the new nestbox railing/ledge. :D
Linder:
Watched the videos as well, I agree with everything you said. Quite interesting :) :)
Rose:
Watched both videos,and isn't it interesting, the male seemingly does all the work, the female inspects,gives her opinion,they both leave and then he comes back to finish the job. Looks like a pretty good scrape and in a good place too.Lots to see of the surrounding area and that the perch bar comes in handy :)
The Peregrine Chick:
1824h
Watching Brooklyn in the nestbox scraping like a demon. Very windy out there but its affecting the birds more than the camera. They have been harrassing the pigeons over the last 1/2 hour, they (the pigeons) have flown by the camera (behind the box) a number of times.
