All four were in the far corner huddled together, then mom came with food. They ate and then all went back to the corner to hide where you can't see them.

Evanston Boy and Girl
The female eyase was named Nike, a nod to “the goddess of speed.” The name was submitted by Evanston resident Claudia Tonella in the library’s naming contest. Peregrine falcons can reach speeds of 200 mph when diving, making them the fastest creatures on earth, according to Field Museum information.

The male eyase was named Zuri, the Swahili word for “beautiful,” as submitted by resident Camille Blachowitz. It’s also the name of the father of the Marvel superhero Black Panther.

Rockford- The Three eyases are getting rather plump. They are trying to snooze but jockeying for position. One baby got a wing to the jaw as he crowded his sibling....
