May 16 2016 Early Morning Feeding

This feeding took place just after 5am this morning. I guess it’s true about the early bird getting the worm, or in this case the prey!!

Slow day for Feedings

Feedings are a bit slow to come to the box today but no worries, mom and dad will make sure the young falcons (eyases) receive enough to keep them full and support their growth.

 

May 13 – Late Afternoon Feeding

Dinner arrives for the chicks on time. As usual Astrid does the feeding.

May 12 – Astrid Attempts to Shade the Chicks

In this clip from late Thursday afternoon, Astrid is desperately trying to keep the chicks and the eggs shaded. The trouble was she couldn’t keep everything together. The chicks were too far apart. This is the kind of thing that usually happens just to Ares

Ares caught what we believe is a Sora!

Ares brings in prey which appears to be a Sora. This is the first time we have ever seen him bring one in.

And this is a closer view of the prey….
