SuzieQmb:
Feeding happening right now, but mom's in the way......dad just showed up for a few seconds, and then left!
Princess just stepped a little to the side....still just 2 chicks and an egg.
Baffled:

Hmmm, well we must remember that wild Peregrines nest mostly on rocky cliffs, so they don't rely on grass/shrubs/trees in the wild for nest protection. The birds are used to strong winds.
They don't know all these humans watching them cringe whenever a big gust blows them over!
Ellie:
I know this nest site is not a good one considering the tragedy previous.........could a grate be put in place on the top of it to prevent the PF's from using it? It is so unprotected from the elements. In nature there are at least tall grasses, shrubs, trees etc. around for protection. Just wondering!!!!
The Peregrine Chick:
One of the chicks seems to be having a bad hair day - probably got poop or regurgitation on his/her head ... ::)
The Peregrine Chick:
Princess has been sticking like glue to the chicks and their second meal today (0755h) was much shorter than meal one (0555h), might be that she knows there is a chance of rain today and isn't taking any chances
