The Peregrine Chick:
It looks like they may have renamed Doorly ... he is the one who broke the eggs and in the first article on this thread, "Zeus" is attributed with the damage.
I'll see about contact Weststar to get some more news ...
Kinderchick:
So are the parents at this site Doorly & Hope or Zeus & Hope? ???
Alison:
I'm glad the family tree link was useful, and very pleased that the first chick has hatched.
A short article on the first hatch:
First Of 4 Peregrine Falcon Eggs Hatches In Topeka
Monday, May 10, 2010
The first of four peregrine falcon hatchlings nesting in a downtown Topeka building decided to make its debut on Mother's Day. Brad Loveless, of Westar Energy, says the egg hatched Sunday afternoon in a nest high on the 12-story Westar building. He expects the other three eggs to hatch within days.
The birds have attracted attention around the world, thanks to two webcams that can be viewed at www.westarenergy.com/greenteam. But the chicks may be hard to see because their mother, named Hope, has been protective since the eggs were laid between April 1 and 3. A male peregrine falcon, named Zeus, also is in the nest. The two falcons built their first nest in a Westar nesting box in 2004.

This article also mentions "Zeus" as being in the nest - I wonder why.
The Peregrine Chick:
Here's the official hatch announcement from Nick at Weststar ....
Falcon Watchers -
The first falcon egg has hatched. Yesterday, at approximately 12:10 p.m. the first chick pecked its way out of the egg. The other 3 eggs remain. We'll keep you updated on new developments.
