I've been watching, too. This morning I was up early so I got to see the other falcon come back to the nest, but he/she was not there long and left with just a few words to the mate still sitting on the eggs/chicks. (They get chatty when the other adult is there, don't they?) I woke the boys to watch and at around 8AM we saw the trade off where the one returned again and the other jumped up and was gone with very little interaction with the returning adult. They are certainly acting like new parents - don't want to miss a moment of their free time away from the responsibility of the kids.  ;D

Just got a good look at the chick as there were no parents in the nest. Then one of the adult falcons returned, seemed to feed the chick, then sat on it. :rofl; The boys loved it!

Right! Now I understand what the warning about seeing nature uncensored was all about. One of the parents is currently feeding the chicks something dead and *very* bloody! :P Think we'll switch to watching something else now....

Yeah, boswife, thankfully he had his back to the camera, almost like he knows kids are watching. Just watched as he ripped something to bits (again, back to camera, concealing the worst of it) but then he flew off without tidying up. His mate looked a bit miffed. The gory remains are just sitting there.

Have you seen the photo in the blog (25th March) where mum is sitting on the egg/s in the snow and all you can see of her is a few feathers sticking out of the snow?

Oh my gosh MaryD, i sure did.  Guess they were really keeping their fingers crossed that these eggs made it..  How beautiful (sad though) for their parenting skills.  Glad you saw that too :)

Ps.....HenryP... i was super happy that you posted your two pics.  I keep missing the ability to see that third chick.  I saw the eggshell this morn, but no one was getting up to show "me"  ;D so that was super special to me  :flower;

Ive watched that too HP.... Im thinking that was the last hatched which was at least a day (i think 2) after his siblings.  I was concerned  yesterday with that rain.  Awwwwwww, just something to worrymyself over..lol  I am surprised too that both parents already leave them alone..lol

hahaha,, i know,,, lotta pigeons feathers around there!!  And yesterday, i just cracked up.  After 'parent' left them alone, they also left a morsel of food for them to pick on? And one of them eyeballed it, jumped on it, picked it up and pranced around with it in their mouth (it kinda looked like a head or something,, :puke; ) but anyway, i was in my 'worry' mode cause it looked like he thought he was just that cool that he was gonna jump outa their 'safty zone' area and fly  around..  It was so cute.  Then he put it down and was sorta jumping on it flapping his wings.  Guess hes learning to 'kill'.  Anyway, very interesting day with the falcons...

The weather is atrocious for them to-day, very windy, rain pelting down  and a bit of sunshine.the mother is shielding them, bless her. Yesterday I saw them being fed by both parents, two pigeons and one looked like a black bird all in one session so they are getting plenty of food.
