Brazen theft of lunch  - i love the look of shock and indignation on the faces of the other two ( but then again they always have that look ).

Mid-morning feeding, apparently by the male Windsong who can now be identified by the poop stripe on his head  ;D The kids all look healthy.

A suppertime feeding on their own and again the little one stays back. Hope he's getting enough. It might be just the cam but he does look less robust than his siblings.

The kids fed themselves this afternoon with the little one ( i'm guessing it's the youngest ) waiting til last for his turn  :(

Wonder why this little guy kept opening wide repeatedly. Some lunch stuck in his throat perhaps ?

or about to yak up a pellet  ;)

The kids woke up, walked around, then all faced the wall for some bizarre reason known only to falcons  ???

 

This little guy couldn't figure out why either and decided to sit and wait for breakfast ( unless the mess WAS breakfast ).

Kinderchick  - re colorful  - yes the photos aren't for the squeamish. I sometimes wonder if i should photoshop the red out of mealtime pics :)

No, no, no, peaches, don't photoshop the red out. As sami said, "that's the life of a peregrine!" ;)

Don't worry about the red, peaches - we all know what it's about! May be gory, but that's the life of a peregrine!

That was just a "power nap" it would seem and was followed by a spectacular show of wings. Breathtaking.

From creatures who look so incredibly homely at times there bursts out the beauty and power of their future selves.

Late lunch was a huge feast, probably gull. The chick on the right was insatiable, helping him/herself instead of waiting and feeding long after the others had quit. No wing exercise  - too stuffed  - they just fell in a heap in the corner  ;D

Your photos are always so "colourful", peaches, in more ways than one! 8)
