Bologna: eyases
There are 2 eyases until now, not three as seen mentioned elsewhere. There are quite obvious 2 eggs that haven't hatched yet. The 2 eyases are doing great! Getting all kinds of delicious food.
Terminal Tower Cleveland
Fuzzling with stones, they all do that. Nobody knows just why. Are they bored? Do they play. Maybe eat one or two in order to make digestion a bit easier.? Maybe we will know once. There is so much about this wonderful craeture we do not know yet. But watching them by webcam, and being eble to do that 24/7 durin gthe season learns us a lot about it' s behaviour!So a very big thank you to everyone who make sthis possible!
Sussex Heights Brighton
The peregrines are nesting high up the Sussex Heigts building in Brighton with a magnificent view over the sea. They have been doing that ever since 2000 and very succesful indeed.
Last year there where 4 eggs as well but 2 of them failed to hatch. The 2 eyases fledged healthy and savely on June 15th.
De Mortel
S2 and Pa doing great together. It's wonderful to be able to watch them again. We are very happy with the new partner Alticom and the sponsor InterNLnet who made this possible.
Watch the feed overhere:
This is the first clutch for the female S2. She was born in 2005 in Belgium. Last year she was the intruder who killed the resident female, but she has won our hearts when she raised the 2 eyases. We know that she will be a great and wonderful mother. Although first breeds might not be fertile, I'm sure hers will. She is superwoman indeed she is!! Love this falcon, seen her in the flesh and feathers and she made a dazzling impression on me. Putting it mildly that is....
Columbus Ohio
This is so sad! Neither one understands what's going on. To hear them wail on the ledge just breaks my heart. Why don't the people who can, take the dead egg out of the scrape. Otherwise there will be no breeding here this season.Either the peregrines will stay here and come to the scrape and leave again, or they try to find a different nest. And that won't be easy. With possible failure or early death of eyases. I just don't understand why the biologists don't take the egg out.
Derby: 4 eggs
A clutch a 4 beautiful brown-reddish speckled eggs in the Derby nest. A great result! The egg has been laid just around 8 o'clock last night.
Everybody just has to visit the Derby Blog and watch the amazing video by Nick Moyes of the birth of the egg and the celebration bells that accompany this new life coming into the world. It's just wonderful!
Harrisburg
For the last seven years Peregrine falcons, an endangered species in Pennsylvania, have nested on the ledge of the Rachel Carson State Office building. And within the last several years, two cameras have broadcasted their daily and nightly life on the Internet. In each of the past two years, the female falcon has laid a clutch of five eggs. While their numbers are improving, Peregrine falcons remain an endangered species in Pennsylvania.So far, the nest at the Rachel Carson State Office Building has produced 34 eggs. Of those, 32 hatched producing 16 males and 15 females (the sex of one nestling hatched in 2006, the runt of the clutch, could not be determined). Of these, 19 falcons survived --10 males and nine females.
Cobb Island
In these photo's both the female and the male. Notice how the male is about onethird smaller than the female. That is why the male is called a tiercel. This is from the german word " terze" or one-third. The female is called falco or falcon. This is from the Latin word falx or sickle which refers to the silhouet of the peregrine in the air.
Rochester: 4 eggs!!!
When Kaver came in the scrape this morning around 7 to his big suprise there where 4 eggs!
Mariah has laid yet another egg last night.
Mariah you do make us all very happy with this 4th eyas to be.
Once again we can enjoy a great season with at least 4 babies of this legendary peregrine couple.
