AZ / Phoenix - 2016-17
burdi:
News article about Phoenix nest from April 11, 2016 - includes a video of chick rescue from 2015. They mentioned that a new couple took over the site in 2015 and hatched 3 chicks. I think they’re saying that the current pair has nested successfully before.

RCF:
The chick here isn't doing so well. It has splayed legs and can't sit up when mom comes with food. She still feeds him but the chick looks like it is swimming on the floor of the box. The box does not have enough gravel in it, so mom can't scootch her feet under the chick properly when brooding. I think this is why it has splayed legs. :(
Here is a short video I took this morning of part of a feed.

Mspeach - I really haven't been able to contribute as much as I'd like to, but I'm pleased if my postings were helpful. I find it interesting to see how these birds will cope under various conditions (such as the heat in Phoenix), and greatly appreciate the opportunity to watch this beautiful pair.
I'm thankful for your observations as well, Mspeach! It's great to know that you live in the area, and I look forward to any further information you're able to provide.
On this forum - I feel we're all here because of our sincere interest and concern for falcons, and I greatly appreciate all that is shared ... as all posts are helpful. Above all, we are most fortunate to have The Peregrine Chick - who will often chirp in - and attempt to set us straight. :D

Burdi, you are doing an excellent job of covering this site.
Sad only one egg hatched.
And by the way, you get use to the heat sorta, kinda. You just do things differently.....like WPG in winter. I played golf here today in 102 degree heat.
