TRAVELING EGGS
March 26, 2022
Boh moved the eggs over to the doorway where he can see any threat.
Dad is a Watchman - even when baby sitting.
He was 'blind' stuck behind the wall. So he moved his babies where he could do both.
There is a ledge thru that doorway where the young falcons go out and nap out of cam view around the outside. Its not a dropoff.
All is well, all is well

The peregrine eyases have been banded! Thank you to raptor biologist, Craig Koppie, with U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Chesapeake Bay Field Office for banding the four eyases last week. Craig confirmed there were 2 females and 2 males.

 One juvie here is wingercising like crazy. He has been on the large beam for quite a while, running back and forth while flapping his wings. He only stopped briefly when a sibling came walking into cam view from the left…The beam walker stared at its sibling for a few seconds, and then continued on his way running and flapping… He even got a bit of lift a couple times- he almost has it figured out…
