From Frank:

We banded 4 Peregrine chicks today. There were 5 eggs,one didnt hatch. Judging from the ages it was egg 4 that didnt hatch. We had

1.Molly 853grams 23 days old 98/x
2.Alpin 603grams 22 days old 32/y
3.Kendall 536grams 24days old 33/y
4.Spec 378grams 15days old 34/y

Spec(Speck) was apptly named as he wasnt much bigger then one!

You are right on TPC.  I checked in this morning and the oldest is already wandering down the ledge while 2 of them were laying in front of her under her breast partway and didn't see the thirds so probably under her.  Linda posted a shot and what a difference in size between largest and smallest.  I hope they do ok too.

The Peregrine Chick:

I know I checked Thursday early morning and there were definitely only 2.  Number one hatched on the 9th, number two on the 12th, number 3 on possibly the 15th given Alisons pics and number 4 could have been yesterday or last night given how tiny he/she is.   So they hatched out across 7 days from eldest to youngest..wow!!

Can't wait to see TPC's reaction!

TPC is going to be interested to see if the youngest makes it ... it will still be wholly dependent on its parents for thermoregulation while the rest will be on their own.  Fledging will also suck for the youngest, particularly if its female - she could be 3 weeks later than her male sibs - hope she has a sister in the bunch to help keep her from trying to follow along too soon!  I would watch very closely folks to see if the parents are up to be able to meet the needs of all their chicks.
