Growing Up
The West End Peregrines eyasses look to be in their final week on the nest. (I’m going away on Friday, so I hope to see them fledge before I leave for two weeks.)
The parents are hunting in view of the eyasses and seem to be showing them “what to do”. The parents behavior switched as soon as the eyasses lost their downy feathers.
The eyasses are also flapping their wings more and have begun to make short flights. The tower has four main ledges, and now rather than run inside the tower to change ledges, they make short flights to get to the next one.
This is my first time spending more than one or two visits at a Peregrine Falcon nest, so I’m not sure what happens next. It’s a lot of fun observing behavior and seeing what comes next.
