Feeding going on right now 6ish pm. I can capture pics and save them, which I do so in Word, but I can't post them, because I do not wish to sign up with photobucket, picasa, or the like in order to do so. The chicks are so cute! This is the first major activity I've seen all day.

Look how the one chick in the back is actually taller than the chick in front of him and his head looks like it's resting on the other one.

That was a really outstanding slideshow/video of the nest activity. Putting all those stills together really made it come alive. Peggy Jean must have put a lot of work into that, and I hope she sees this big THANK YOU for doing that! Thanks also Patti for posting the link.

I was preparing a talk I am giving to a group of 2nd graders and in reviewing old files and pictures, I saw this from the Indy Falcon Blog regarding naming one of the chicks after our beloved Froona. The picture is one I snapped of her right after she was banded and in the hands of my good friend Sylvia. In honor of her birthday...
Happy Birthday Froona
IndyFroona - Female, band is *V/*Y, black over green (the * indicates the letters lay on the side as you look at the band). This name was submitted by Diane Bottum of Lafayette, Indiana. Many falconheads who follow the Indy pair and other nest sites know who this female was named for. As Diane said, "I'd like to name her in honor of the recently deceased falcon lover and blogger extraordinaire from the Netherlands, Froona." Froona was quite remarkable and extremely passionate about falco peregrinus and sharing her love and knowledge about these birds with the world. Even though she lived in the Netherlands, she followed the Ks and reported on them on her website. She passed away in March but her legacy will continue with the probability that there will be many little falcons named Froona all over the world. We liked the idea that our little Froona will have a bit of her own identity and tell everyone where she is from. So IndyFroona, I'm sure you will have many folks rooting for your success and I hope, hope, hope you fly high and touch the clouds - with your pedigree and the good wishes of many folks around the world, we know you are capable of being a true falcon success.

Thank you for that wonderful reminder, gigi...Its hard to believe that just a year ago we were still coming to terms with Froona's death and missing her so much....

...a feeding from a little while ago...
