I can see and have been watching over the past few days, the female outside, sitting there. Just her tail for the most part. She has spent so much time out there over the past few days.
Looks like you were correct SGB, it does not look good for here.
There are hardly any prey remains in the box.
I wish I could go get them and put them into a nest that takes care of it's babies.
I have never seen the male here since hatching was occurring.

And I JUST broke my own Rule...Wait 5 minutes when it comes to peregrines.

She is now inside, doing a nice, fully PLUCKED, feeding....... I have to eat my words now!! LOL

However, It did not appear to be nearly enough food for all four. :???:

Somehow the baby manages to get in front and gets several bites.

Watched a feeding earlier. While they could have eaten more I believe, it looked like everybody got about the same amount.

Then she cuddled them for a long time.

Several pics of a feeding. I got in on the tail end of it so I don't know who got what or how much.
Sorry about the inconsistent pic sizes. That is what you get with screen shots! :girlcrazy:

Another feeding.

I saw and have snips of a nice feed yesterday, as well... Glad that the food supply is increasing! They look like they are putting on weight in your scaps! Good for them!!! :ohyes:

Another feed. Babies look good!

They seem well fed and sleeping it off! :5val:

Thanks for all the great pictures and comments, everyone!

A few minutes ago they were all lined up against the wall out of the sun. Now one has moved all the way across the box.
Love the feets sprawled all out! :loveheart2:

I just got in at the end so I didn't see the whole picture, but this part didn't look good. Crops are small on two of them.

OH, and here is a pic of them all in the shade earlier.

Every time I see this cam on the multi-cam page, the babies are alone. I was wondering whether both parents are around or whether one parent is trying to do everything. These little ones are sooooo cute!

I haven't heard anything about that. In John's last report I think IPL personnel have seen both parents. It has been pretty warm in Petersburg.

well, I've kept the cam up since the feed...somebody (tail only) has been on the outer perch since the feed...I gotta get off this computer and start chores...maybe somebody else can keep an eye out for dad?
