Remember that it's HOT in Arizona - and much hotter way up high - where the falcons like to nest!

Dad was allowed to feed their chick today (while Mom supervised), and he did an excellent job! :-*
Mom sat silently watching - until deciding she wanted to continue herself, so Baby was very well fed. ;D

I noticed this warning (under the Arizona cam) brings attention to just a bit more than some others I've seen.
Notice to Viewers:
Please remember that these are wild animals and, like all wildlife, are subject to the unpredictablity of nature. It is not uncommon for one or more of the young birds to die before reaching fledging age. It is the intention of the department not to interfere with these nesting birds. While you are viewing the camera, you may witness a variety of behaviors that may seem cruel, including predation on other wild birds and even the young of the nesting peregrines themselves. It is important to remember, wild animals are neither cruel nor kind, good nor bad, but merely animals that are the products of countless years of evolution. An intimate view into the lives of wildlife is a rare privilege, and we hope that you enjoy and learn from this experience.

Yippee!!! First (and very vocal) little chick born on Mother's Day.
Nest tally: one chick, one egg.
Can't tell if second egg is trying to hatch.
Flying insects are quite bothersome to mom.
