OK well I'm SOOO EXCITED.
I won a contest to go help band the Kestrel chicks at Hawk Mountain.
I sure hope work doesn't gets in the way of going.

You all helped me learn about these cuties THANK YOU all so much

Either those eggs are spotted in such a way they REALLY LOOK like pips, or they are NOT hatching.

I really hope at least one hatchs and fledges.
As usual, I cant tell male from female.
I've never seen 2 adults in the box

I hope cam gets fixed!
I notified Cornell - AND THEY REPLIED!

Egg Laying
Egg #3: April 12
Egg #4:
Egg #5: April 16

Kestrels begin full incubation after the next to last egg. We believe she laid her 4th egg on April 14, which means hatch could begin on or around May 12 through May 15.

BREAKFAST for 5
May 27, 2021
10:45 am feeding - tug o war with 3 different chicks
1.30 pm A very wet male entered and she began scolding and scolding.
Its pouring rain, he just wants shelter!
It musta been the Dad, cuz she left him alone with the kids for awhile.

Oh thank God they cleaned the cam! UGH!

May 28, 2021
Dawn feeding Big Mama wanted it ALL, Mum had to fight her for prey to feed 2 others.
I have not seen the 2 ( males ? ) in back fed for 2 days
They are small and dont fight - 3 in front (females?) fight for the food

It may still be raining - TONS of rain yesterday!

May 28, 2021 afternoon
Mom arrived with a huge bloody - rat?
One chick grabbed it from her
another grabbed it from that one

Poor mom dove into the crazed kids and pulled it away
She fed them in a more or less tidy way
