Rochester

Oberhausen: dinnertime

Cobb: feeding

Terminal Tower: first hatch and a second one

After the excitement of yesterday when we saw a first pip, we are overjoyed today with the hatch of 2 eyases for Buckeye and SW. They are very experiencend and great parents and so Buckeye brought prey immediately for his newborn. They are adorable, these cuties.

James Riverbridge: with dad

Cobb Island: 2 eyases

From the 4 eggs two have hatched until now. Two very sweet eyases are being fed by mom while dad stands watch. Wonder when the other 2 will hatch. And is they will. Remember how one of the eggs was covered in droppings. So maybe it got infected. Just have to wait and see

Oberhausen: amazing!

Thanks Arjen for the pics!

De Mortel: third hatch!

Early this morning the third eyas for S2 and Pa hatched. We saw a third little beak wide open when breakfast was served. And the little one could perfectly cope with his elder siblings, no problem what so ever. These are strong eyases, born from the mighty S2 and Superdad. They will grow up to be strong juveniles, I'm sure.
S2 is a very devoted mother, she takes care every one gets a lot of food. She keeps on stuffing them. Wonder when the fourth egg will hatch.

Rome: still going stronger

Zwolle: hatching on it's way

In Zwolle the female was very agitated, kept on listening to the eggs, looking at them, moving them, listening again. The eyases must be screaming inside. This behaviour is so obvious, even without sound it's clear what is happening. The first eyas will hatch within 24-48 hours.

Columbus Ohio

Orville and Scout are still incubating, the eggs here won't hatch until May.

Oberhausen: big prey

Richmond: all set for hatching

All is ready for hatching over here. The cams moved in real close, so we won't miss anything. Great Job from VA Falcons!
Estimated hatchdate April 24-25
Both peregrines are very agitated so perhaps the eggs are singing already.
After the eyas has pipped the membrane to the aircell it will breath for the first time. And strats screaming with a soft shri-shri-shri. The parents get excited by that and keep listening with their ear on the egg. It's very special to see the reaction of these killerraptors to the arrival of their baby. Both are at the nestsite and speak with ee-chupp and ee-chip calls to eachother. Oh how I wish I could understand what they are saying.

James River Bridge: 14 days old

Florence : one more hatch

Eyas nr. 2 has hatched as well. 2 More eggs to go. Food is brought in by Giotto and Monna Tessa takes it and feeds the kids.

Heidelberg: 10 days old

Both eyases are 10 days old today and doing very well!

Zurich: finally a peregrine again

It's very hard to catch one of them, but here we are. Still incubating in an alcove in the wall. So we can not see anything. They are certainly incubating there. We however will not know how many eggs there are or how many eyases have hatched untill they show them selves on the platform.

Nijmegen: 3 eyases

In Nijmegen all 3 eggs have hatched rather quickly after eachother. The 3 eyases are doing fine: eating and sleeping.

We are right on schedule! Hatching in progress!
