MN / Elk River - 2008-22

feeding time in Minnisota. Breakfast actually. :) Still one egg not hatched.
The Peregrine Chick:
Just spoke with Brenda who coordinates the falcon cam and the nest for Great River Energy at the Elk River Power Plant. This is only their second year with peregrines and their first year with live-streaming video and audio on the nest. They have three chicks hatched out (that's what you all watched yesterday) and another egg still being actively incubated. Both the adults are unbanded so no details on where they came from or where they have been I'm afraid. The upside of the pair being unbanded is that they are from a nest that we don't know about and that means there are even more peregrines out there! This year's female supplanted last year's female earlier in the season and she is now at another site not too too far away. The supplanted female's band number is 30 over B and I'll see if I can track down some more information as her band number is very close in the sequence to both our females, Princess at the Radisson and Holly out in Brandon.
Thank you Brenda for sharing the details. Greatly appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions. We'll all be watching and rooting your birds on!

Wow, another feeding in Minnesota! My , my, frustrating to watch, one little guy didn't get anything, or maybe just one bite at the very end. Goodness. :)
Pchemist:
Zoinks - this cam is well lit at night! Not that birds will fly, but I assumed my cam window had frozen until I saw cars driving by! That means you early risers will always have a great view. I plan to be asleep (lord willing) when these birds wake up. But it's neat to know that my normal insomina will have a distraction!
:D

It appeared to come out of the mouth. That's why I thought it was a spit. I admit the cat comparison came to mind at the time, but it was in the form of hissing, not hairballs! It went flying out prob 4 or 5 inches over the ledge (head level) and shot straight forward. The parent didn't move much, as in flinging anything with wing or feet. I thought maybe it was telling something else that got too close to move the heck away!
