Some great pics of turning the eggs and a change. Buckeye loves breeding and it takes SW some convincing for him to leave. She's the boss however as in all peregrine families, so he leaves. He has to. Buckeye takes care of food. There ar a lot of flickers living in the area so that is the main foodsupply in this nest. When the eyases are about 10-15 days old, about 7 flickers a day are caught, killed and served to the little qute chicks. It seems cruel, but it is their way of life. Only the very strong flickers excape Buckeye. He is a very good hunter though!
