Great pics, all...

I took these this morning (Eastern USA time)..really had to lighten them up...at the beginning of the feed, baby was facing the wrong way and mom was eating..eventually mom went over and started feeding the baby..

I went to the Birdcam.IT forum to see if I could figure out what is going on here!!! Did a second chick hatch, but not survive?

I think you're right on that. We're not sure what happened exactly because it was when the sun was shining most brightly and it was impossible to "read" the photos. However, it seems that a second chick did hatch or try to hatch but didn't survive and Alice removed everything immediately.

watched a feeding.. One of the bigger chicks in the back dominated the feeding for the first few minutes, then the small one got his fill and fell asleep while everybody else was grabbing bites all around him. The feeding lasted a while and he even woke up again and ate more. In the end, they couldn't even cuddle their crops were so full. :lol:

The chicks in both these nests will be ringed on 30 April (next Tuesday).

I'll post the info as soon as its available - I shouldn't have any problems about time to do it as I'll be at the computer anyway... :wink:

I love how the smallest chick always seems to stand beside the biggest chick.

I look at these bottom heavy chicks and it is hard to believe they will grow into that sleek 200 mph flying machine! They are just so cute and goofy looking now! :flirty:

I know Gigi, but look at the difference in Appio & Vergine's chicks in these two photos. The first was caught on 11 April (by randj - thanks) and they, too, were bottom heavy; the second was snapped this morning by Sandrobico. Like human babies, just moving around slims them down and they're beginning to look more sleek and falcon-like Image

This one is actually pecking at the talon of the parent. Quite vigorously. Falcon parents are so tolerant.

Here are the details of Alice and Virgilio's chick:

Raoul
Ring: CJ2125,
Wing: 140 mm
Weight: 715 gm

Wouldn't like to say whether it's a male or a female... it's certainly big, but the wing size seems smaller than those of Aria and Vento that are almost certainly female. However, it doesn't really matter as long as it's healthy and grows into a fine, strong adult peregrine :sum10:
