Chilly Chicks
Monday, May 18, 2009

NYS DEC Dunn Memorial Bridge Falcon Cam

Given the unseasonably cold nights we've been having (and a fairly chilly day, for that matter!) I suspect the female falcon has her wings full working to keep the two chicks warm. The remaining two eggs have been abandoned unhatched and pushed toward the front of the nest. A shame really - I was hoping for 3-4 chicks, since it's not uncommon for one or two to be killed during the fledging process. We'll just have to keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best...
