Bird Cams Around the World

mayo
June 4 - We have fledge! Altezza, one of the male chicks, fledged at 5:22 a.m. today (see below), followed soon after by the other male, Pippin. The birds are probably very near the nest box; in fact, you may see one or both perched on one of the structures behind the box. The female chicks, Hailey and Avalon, remain in the nest box but could fledge any day.

Some viewers are concerned about the change in feeding habits observed recently. Orton and Hattie have continued to bring food to the nest box but now just drop it for the chicks to tussle over and consume. This is a natural and important part of what the chicks need to learn; they no longer need to be fed directly by the adults. Raptors, like these peregrine falcons, consume much of the water they need through the food they eat. The chicks have been well-fed since hatch, so they are well-hydated, too.
