We definitely had the rodent conversation last summer, and TPC said "no".   hmmm...

For people who may have been at work today without internet access - someone has posted a video of the events shortly after the third hatch at Elk River today with the still wet new arrival. ;D

She just fed the kids not too long ago, probably her dinner.  New mum has to keep up her strength  :P

O. K. Parent is back but without any food.   ??? Ate it all herself?  Didn't think that rodent was suitable for the kids? Hmm  :P

I was really, really surprised when I saw it as I didn't think that Peregrines would hunt rodents.

I missed that too - but I was under the impression that would be very unlikely?  I'll wait for TPC to chime in on that one.

OMG parent just arrived with some kind of a 4 legged critter with a tail.  Mom has taken it off, presumably to prepare dinner, so dinner alert.  She should be back soon.
