:10sum: Mom atop prey on ledge, which is a very large, piece of red meat! All eyes and vocals focused on her!! Down at 6:35 real time and feeding yellow girl who is down there. Unbelievable, the others are watching and fussing from the lip! The 2 boys came down at 6:37 to join in. Yellow girl remains in the middle and getting the bites while the boys try to snatch it from her beak. Red boy in the middle now and getting bites while blue boy snags some too. Orange girl fussing at intervals from the lip. Aggressive feed and red boy took a head dunk in the pool! Yellow girl just scored a big bite. Boys have been getting most. Red boy scored a big bite and turned and walked away to get it down in peace. Just blue and yellow now, red is hanging back. Tug of war between big sis and blue, she won. Blue just scored the remains which is a very large hunk and ran to the nest and mantled! Mom left and blue is mantling and eating. Then lightens up and continues to eat while orange girl preens. Blue is still working on it at 6:54 and Red has hopped up to the lip in front of him. Blue finishes at 6:56. From the reaction of the girls a parent is either on the roof of the pen or nest.

:1val: Was gone late afternoon, but never was able to catch a feed or see a parent today. They just lounged around the nest and pen when I was watching.

I was gone much of the day, too...but did get the cam open later in the day.

This was around 6 pm. It appears they may be starting to withhold food...which is ironic since its to encourage fledge...and obviously they can't fledge from the pen..

These guys were so frustrated!!!


This is Dad

Image

Only a few got bites..

Image

He actually left..

Image

Came back, but instead of feeding, he ate...kids were going nuts.

Image

I'm not sure who this is.


Image

Image

Image

Then there was a lull. Then Red's turn...the other's were very entertained..

Image

There were a few seconds when he literally disappeared from cam view. At first, I thought he had found a way out...LOL

Image

But nope...down he came.

Image

All's quiet right now. I opened the cam too late to know if there has been a feed.

They have discovered it's cool up in the front of the cage. The rain-soaked gravel is cool on the bellies! :clapegg:

thanks catwoman!!

They have just posted a very nice video of the banding.....behind the scenes!!




I didn't hear mention of when the pen would open. As far as I can see, both males have little to no fluff!!! I sure hope they don't bolt as soon as that door is opened. that's happened before!!

:eggthumb: From VDWR: "Banding the 2021 Richmond Peregrine Falcon Chicks"



I pulled out 2 answers from their FB Q&A that I am especially looking forward to and thought you all might be too:

1)"Unfortunately, our camera does not have a built-in microphone and thus there is no sound associated with the livestream. However, we are looking into the addition of an auxiliary microphone for use in future years which could provide sound."

2) "Falcons typically fledge between 40-44 days old. Historically, we have found that opening the pen door when the youngest chick in the clutch is at least 44 days old has given the chicks ample time to build up their strength and thus avoid becoming grounded at street level after they fledge. With that in mind, we will likely be opening the pen door sometime between June 21st and June 23rd, after which time the chicks will be able to leave the pen at their leisure."

Here's the link to their FB where you can see the numerous Q&A's about the falcons:



:1val: Here you go, sky! Between the 21st and 23rd.

Not much time yesterday...just a few pics...

Shadow Falcon, he was way up there.


Image

Coming down

Image

I can't remember if this was Red or Blue going up.

Image

As much as I want these guys to stick around, I think the boys are going to be crazy by next Monday. The boys and yellow were 40 days old yesterday!!! We're used to seeing males fledge between 38 and 40 days....combine that with withholding food? :girlcrazy:

Parent landed a few minutes ago. Probably went to top of box, then probably to top of cam...the boys have been going nuts. I couldn't tell if the parent had food.

Looking back at my footage. Parent leaving from top of box. It appeared s/he had food.

Image

I hope Mom and Dad figure out sooner rather than later that the kids are not going to follow like they normally would when parents do enticing food fly bys to encourage fledge.

Dad checking on the kids a few minutes ago. No food.

Didn't take much to scare him off.

Really hard to appreciate...but it was a flapping frenzy by all once they were finished.

He came back around 11:27 and did a second feed.

Hard to tell who is eating.


Image

Image

Image

Image

It was the same type of prey as the previous feed. I know its predator vs prey, but I hope DAd isn't wiping out fledglings from another nest. (I try not to think about these things)

WOW...Dad and ANOTHER feed...just finished.

Everybody kept stealing food from Blue.

I'm not sure when it started.


Image

Blue with a nice piece

Image

He really didn't protect it..and it was stolen..

Image

Blue eventually made his way back. I believe that's yellow on the left. every chance she got, she stole the bite from Blue.
