Falcon Chicks?

NYS DEC Dunn Memoral Bridge Peregrine Falcon Webcam

The latest photos of the Dunn Memorial Bridge peregrine falcon nest show what looks like eggshell fragments in the nest - looks like the eggs are hatching!



This afternoon I stopped at the Rensselaer Riverfront Park to see what's visible first-hand... unfortunately, the nesting box is almost all the way across the river from the park, so even with my camera at full zoom very little was visible. But that might improve once the chicks get bigger and start venturing out of the nest... I'll just have to keep track of what's going on with them!
