oh , Mom/or Dad has returned with Food. Oh my, had to turn my speakers down. They are really hungry. My goodness. Following Mom right around. lol
deedream:
Wow I have had this cam on for well over an hour and the chicks have been left completely alone. Seems long. One little one woke up and stumbled about and went over to the edge, did some shrieking, guess looking for Mom and/or food! :) Finally went back to the pile for more sleep.
The Peregrine Chick:
I can certainly see what I can do.

Any chance of you finding out and letting us know the sex of the Elk River babies and if the people there named them? (or did I miss it ?)

No they are more than a week younger than we band our chicks - they hatched out on the 25/26 May which makes them 18 days old. We don't band until minimum 21 days, usually a couple more "to grow on". Elk River however has a very experienced peregrine person working with them, so I have no doubt that they have it all in hand.

Thanks. I knew they had to be experienced - after all, who just willy nilly goes up on a crane to grab chicks and band them??? I'm glad they cleaned the camera lens. They also removed the egg that didn't hatch. Glad to know my powers of observation aren't whacky. :D
