2010 NESTING SEASON
This cam is now active, and there is one egg in the nest. Even more surprising, the falcon there is an extremely cute juvie!

Updates on this site are usually few and far between; I have no idea who this this little juvie is. I don't think I see any bands.

This nest is on the Dunn Memorial Bridge in Albany ...
-
The Dunn Memorial webcam was down, but just now showed a partial pic with two eggs and a male and female pair of adult peregrines. The male is banded.
I don't know where the little juvie is today.

The four eggs:

Incubation of the four eggs has continued here, and the falcons looked like two adults.
Today, the little juvie was back. Seen from above, he is very dark, so I think he is the male at this nest. The eggs must be due to hatch, if they are going to hatch.

He looks unbanded to me.

They are definitely his eggs - he is turning them here.

There is a hatch here finally ;D

I am so pleased to see a hatch at this nest. The first egg was laid on April 15, so I was beginning to wonder if any of the eggs would hatch. Also, the little male is only one year old.
Haven't seen the chick yet, but there is eggshell:

Wooohoooo! This is awesome!! I was just thinking about him this morning and wondering if the eggs would hatch would hatch as well and worried that he might be discouraged..but there it is! :-*
-
There are 2 hatches now ;D
-
Very sadly, today we lost one of the tiny chicks at this nest. I hope the second little one will be okay, but he still looks really small - he was born on May 28.

:'( :'( I love the young dad, he's doing a really good job considering his young age. I hope the little one makes it.
-
Finally, after not being able to get the cam since Friday I saw the little one today. He's doing well, growing - still tiny but he looks good! :-*
-
Couldn't access the cam either for a few days, so I was very happy to see cute little juvie Dad with the chick today:
