:clap: :hatchegg: :hatchegg: :hatchegg: Congratulations Rachel and Steve! :flirty:

You know, after all the seasons I have watched this nest, I just realized a possible draw. My brother's name was Steve and his dog's name was Rachel! I took her home with me 2 months before he died. I can't believe I missed this, but I always called him "Bubby"!

And here's the video by Juanita Roper of the 3rd hatch"

Hi to all. I'm from Jamestown ND and had been watching the Fargo peregrine falcons, Miracle and Annie "Andy," until they lost their fourth and last egg. The web cam was up for a while afterwards but is now down, so I started watching Steve and Rachel. I emailed my brother-in-law and his wife about this site, as his name is Steve and her name is Rachel! Anyway, I had been waiting for the third egg to hatch and ended up missing it but was able to see it here. Thanks for the great video. Congrats!

:dancegirl: Your welcome Candance and welcome to BCAW! Sorry to hear about the eggs there. Most of the juvies have fledged this season, but Cathedral of Learning with one juvie and Poland-Warsaw with 3 juvies have not fledged as yet. There are interesting histories with some of these nests and in the off season you can go back and read the posts to catch up. Two popular falcon sites in the USA are Columbus and Harrisburg. In Columbus you will learn about "curly chicks'. COL had much joy and much sorrow and bewilderment this season. The 2 chicks here @ Hog Island last year were predated by an eagle within 1 hour of each other, very sad. If you are interested in eagles, try North Fort Meyers (Southwest Florida), but the history of the 4 seasons on cam is a must read! Overwhelming drama @ times, but they are much loved.

Info from Mod:

Here are the most important facts about our three kiddos, so far:

Firstie: egg laid April 29th at 10:16 am, pipped June 6th at 6:13 am after 38 days, hatched on June 6th at 10:26 pm after 16 hours and 13 minutes, first feeding (flounder) on June 7th at 7:47 am after 9 hours, and 21 minutes

Twosie: egg laid May 2nd at 10:42 am, pipped June 6th at 8:14 pm after 36 days, hatched on June 8th at 5:23 am after 33 hours and 9 minutes, first feeding (mackerel) at 7:40 am after 2 hours and 17 minutes

Trey: egg laid May 5th at 9:10 am, pipped on June 10th at 8:58 am after 36 days, hatched on June 10th at 10:52 pm after 13 hours and 54 minutes, first feeding (mackerel) on June 11th at 4:52 am after 6 hours

When I first went in to the cam I thought it was Loch of the Lowes with the nest rocking in all that wind and rain! :teehee: Rachel just gave us all a peek @ the trio here! Looking good! :flirty:

:clap: From the mod:

Yesterday, Steve has outdone himself: He delivered 16 mackerels to the nest! It is an over all record: for this season, for himself, for the species of an entire day and since we started our fish count in 2013, initiated after the first live chat with Dr. B. over here.

Steve is outstanding this year, and I am not talking about his fishing skills. Last night, he fed the chicks for the first time ever, after some attempts in recent years. Watch the video, recorded by Regina
