American Kestrels - Italy / Birdcam (Rebecca)
carly:
I believe I read in the posts that they are prepared to keep supplying food to the nest until the chicks are ready to be on their own. They seem like a great bunch of folks and they're keeping everyone updated so I have no doubt this nest will succeed with their help. They know they have to keep Rebecca well fed as well as she's the sole source of support for the chicks right now...well aside from them but you know what I mean ;)

Rebecca is feeding the chicks again and all is calm. They are being very quiet, just the occasional soft chirp. The mice have disappeared from the front so she must be using the "gift" mice to feed them. This probably means that she still can't find enough food and that the folks there will have to continue the food drops. The chicks are looking good.

7:33 am and Rebecca flew in and it's feeding time :-*
carly:
Thanks for the news Maggie! Just woke up and am doing my rotation of morning nest checks..which seems to get longer by the week ..lol!
I see the 4 chicks napping and still food left so all is good so far!
maggieblue:
Good news about the little guy that they are calling Alphonse. :-* His temporary caregiver Luigi reports that he had a good night and breakfast. The plan is to reintroduce him to the wild and they are looking for a nest with young of a size similar to his.
Rebecca was at the nestbox shading the chicks from the sun but has now gone out, perhaps to look for breakfast. There are still a couple of mice there if she needs them.
