Out looking for the falcons at 6 pm. Nothing, no chicks, no adults.

About half an hour later, spotted one chick on the NE corner. My husband dropped me and my chair off and went shopping. I set up, in a very breezy spot and froze in that wind. But, while I was watching, Jules showed up flying overhead. She just hung in the air like a kite, occasionally swooping around then hanging again. Beau showed up and perched on the NW corner. All this took a while (sometime after 7 pm), the next thing I knew, there were 3 peregrines in the air and another chick showed up on the NE corner and kakked at them. Jules flew lead, and Beau flanked the chick. Jules and yhe chick wheeled around and flew back to the east wall. Jules followed the chick in on the landing and all landed safely. ;D

What a great report dupre!  Isn't it just wonderful to go and watch the falcons, especially when they have young.  8)
