Some pictures from earlier today when I was trying to get a head count of chicks. It looks like all 5 eggs have hatched, but I can't tell if there are 3 or 4 live chicks left. :?

I read about this the other day at RRP, it was so darn cute
You'll giggle I'm sure

I thought I'd start this thread hoping Kirby the kestrel will be around more
when the weather warms and the moths are more plentiful.

Dot posted earlier about Kirby the Kestrel. He was in the paper on Tuesday.
He's the kestrel who entertained the crowd during the Twins-Orioles game.

KF - Thanks for posting the link to the article about Kirby the Kestrel. It sure sounds like he was the hit of the baseball game the other night! And you're right, it was "darn cute."

See The Baby Falcons! Albertville Man Sets Up Live Feed Of Nest
Claire Aiello Web Content Manager

Live Camera: See The Baby Kestrel Falcons!
ALBERTVILLE, AL - An Albertville man is giving the world a view of something
unique atop his shed. It's not every day you get to see baby Kestrel Falcons
grow up! Thousands of people are keeping a close eye on their daily progress,
too.

Jay Mostella noticed earlier this week that a falcon had made a nest in his shed
. He found that two of the three babies had fallen behind a pole, and were
unable to get out or be fed. Mostella did some quick research and decided
to step in to help.

Mostella pulled the babies out of the hole and hand-fed them worms, because
they didn't have enough strength to stand on their own. After feeding the babies,
he and his family put them back in the nest. Mostella then set up a live webcam
so he could watch them and see if the mother returned to care for them.
She did, and so did the father.

Kitten - Thanks for finding the new kestrel chicks today. They are really adorable, aren't they? :loveheart:

FYI - I added them to the Kestrel nesting calendar and the Kestrel cam link page.

Fuzzy (largest), Wuzzy and Tuzzy (smallest)
Jay the cam-owner was worried about the little one Tuzzy so he zoomed in.
The baby isn't being aggressive enough when food is delivered :-(
