Watch here for news about the Peregrine Falcons in Kalamazoo.
This is a long overdue update on our young raptors and a very overdue update on their names.
The last two juvies returned Saturday morning and reunited with their family.
Two juvies passed their flying tests at Wildside Rehabilitation and Education Center and returned home today.
Every year fledging week is tense, crazy, and very busy. Each year is a bit different, but this year really gave us some surprises.
Fledging has started.
No flying yet.
What a mess!
The Peregrine chicks were banded today by Michigan DNR biologists, Don Poppe and Nik Kalejs.
Food fights at breakfast.
The chicks are thriving and getting bigger.
All four chicks are active and doing well.
All four eggs have hatched in successive days (April 25, 26, 27, and 28).
