3 HATCHLINGS
May 6, 2025
There are at LEAST 2 hatched, proly more.
Saw a pile of fluff - no way to count beeks!   

7.05 am  Feeding 3 beeks!

[STLbf]

Shep, at late morning, it looks like 3 of the 4 eggs have hatched here at Spartan Stadium.  It's raining and the adult is working to keep the eyases and last egg warm and dry.  Check back later to see progress.

The fourth egg has not hatched yet in late afternoon.  Hope for soon.  The three hatchlings have had a first feeding from the female who brought a bird carcass to the box. 

[STLbf]

The fourth egg has not hatched as of 11:00 MSU time this morning.  The three hatchlings appear to be OK.  They are cuties, moving around, eating bits of bird that the female brings in.  Both adults are tending the little ones.

Mom, Dad, 3 kids and eggbert

As of late this afternoon, the Spartan box has 3 hatchlings and 1 unhatched egg.  The parents are feeding the hatchlings and look how much they have grown in just one day!

[STLbf]

There's still one unhatched egg at the Spartan nest box.  The three hatchlings seem to be OK; parents doing what they should be doing.

[STLbf]

The 3 hatchlings seem to be OK this morning, and the fourth egg has not hatched.  One parent (male I think) brought a bird for breakfast, don't know what kind, but it was too much to work with so got flown away. 

[STLbf]

The 3 Spartan hatchlings seem OK this morning.  Parents doing what peregrine parents do.

[STLbf]

The three hatchlings are growing and making more sounds today.  They still stay huddled together.  Parents feeding of course, and also leaving the babes for slightly longer times.

[shep]

LOTS of unhatched eggs this year

[STLbf]

The unhatched egg was broken in views early this morning.  The three eyases here are a week old as of yesterday and today.

Looks good at the MSU nest box.  One parent left and shortly after one parent returned with prey still alive for breakfast. Starling maybe.  Eeeewwww.
