Kalamazoo falcons

The Kalamazoo juvies have been doing well.

The weather has changed from the balmy temperatures of a week ago. 

The fourth egg arrived today.

The third egg arrived in the early morning on 03-28-2019!

I paid a visit to Peregrine Central on Friday to clean up around the nest box

The chicks are doing well. They look active and alert and are well fed and attended to by Rebecca and Kewpee.

Both birds have been diligently incubating the four eggs

The third egg arrives on 03-21-2018

Apex, the female fledgling that has been in rehab for a couple weeks following collision with a building on her fist flight, was returned home and released on June 24.

We have a different situation this year compared to the last several years. One of the eggs was not viable and did not hatch. After almost a week after the other eggs hatched, the last egg looked degenerated. Rebecca dispensed with the dead egg yesterday and even the remaining shell fragments looked abnormal. The three chicks are thriving. They hatched within a day of each other so are very close in size so are equal competitors for food. And the food is plentiful thanks to Kewpee's hunting skills and frequent delivery service!
