I hadn't looked in on "little" Sumo for a while. i can see where the name comes from. S(he) is sleeping tucked in beside parent and is almost the same size as the parent!! Amazing how fast they change!
carly:
Little sumo sitting in the sun this morning and mom is out on her perch in the distance. He seems to be vocalizing to her, first time I've seen him chat - so to speak, no doubt something to the effect of 'hey, where's my breakfast'... :D
The Peregrine Chick:
Looks like water to me. But Sumo (in absence of another name) won't really wander out of camera range until he actually flies at which point he might return to the nestsite but only for a little while or he might fledge and be gone for good. Some of them just can't seem to wait to shake the gravel off their feet!
carly:
Oh good TPC, cause I keep accidently calling him he ;D They said last week that banding would sometime next week and they will also remove the eggs at that point. I expect at some point he will move out of range from us..not sure what is in front there where mum sits... but beyond is water yes?
The Peregrine Chick:
If Sumo is 3 weeks old, and given the amount of flight feathers showing in the images I saw today, I believe it is a he. Almost time for him to be banded so will be interesting to see if I'm right.
