FOUR ON THE FLOOR ONCE MORE!!

May 10, 2010 - Lead monitor Audrey Gamble reports: At 12:18 today Madame X and Surge completed what has become an annual Mother's Day Weekend event - successful hatching of four apparently healthy chicks. In the image at left, taken at 14:37 this afternoon, it looks like X and Surge (back to the camera) are congratulating each other on a job well done, so far. In the background, although not totally discernable as separate individuals, are the four chicks. Congratulations, Ma and Pa!

Now the fun begins. Banding will be in about 3-4 weeks - watch how these little ones grow in that time. Stay Tuned!

Alison:
A view of the chicks:

 

The Peregrine Chick:
Not sure how many peregrine nests on cliffs I've seen with vegetation like that though!!!

carly:
THREE!!

May 8, 2010 - At 14:25 today Surge brought in some food and Madame X stepped onto the upper ledge, providing a clear look at three fluffy white chicks, as seen in the image at left. Today's high winds seem to have bent the weed a bit to the south, providing a better view of the nest corner, and we hope that it will not move back. Getting ready for Number Four - stay tuned!!

(I like the greenery, makes it look more natural.  YOu can almost pretend they are on a cliff site and not a concrete slab..well if you ignore the glass windows  ::) )

The Peregrine Chick:
Shows you what a great source of fertilizer poop art is!!  :D
