McKenzie Seeds - 2018 / Sol & Hurricane
sparkster:
TPC: Do you know if there were any this year that just did not hatch, or is it like the Radisson with no eggs? :'( I realize there is no cam and that it might not be possible to check if there were eggs.

I know some of you have been waiting for an update on the McKenzie Falcons, so here goes.
I haven't seen a food delivery to the nest yet so I don't know for sure if they have any hatches. That doesn't mean they don't...I just haven't seen anything.
I can tell you that most every morning around 6:30 a.m. Hurricane has been on the tower or on a light preening or napping with a full crop, Sol in the box of course. I didn't see her this morning and it seems Sol has been hanging out lately where I can see him. He hides somewhere and I can't find him.
I stopped by there yesterday before shopping and Sol was on the tower, Hurricane in the nest. I came back an hour later and saw that Hurricane was eating a pigeon on the north west corner of the building. She never ate the whole thing and stuffed it in the gutter and went back to the nest box. So that makes me think there is or are hatches. Usually she would not go back as quick and would let Sol incubate for much longer. That's all I can tell you for now.

RCF sent her note on the 12th but my spam filter ate it :o :-X ::)
She will let us know when she sees a change in Hurricane's and Sol's behaviour that would indicate chicks have arrived. Always tougher to determine the start of incubation and hatching from the ground but RCF knows these birds and what to look for!

Haven't heard anything from RCF nor a couple of our other local spotters. RCF would recognize the signs of hatching even at a distance while some of our other spotters might not. Haven't had any reports that there might be problems so fingers crossed.

Talons crossed.
