On Wednesday it became clear that they Peregrine Falcon parents at 86th and West End have begun making the fledglings come and get their food. While the adult male is still hunting for the fledglings, he was making them come and get their meals. Delivery service is now over for the season!

As he did last year, he’s switched to bringing House Sparrows rather than Rock Pigeons. He’s passing off the entire bird, rather than a plucked pigeon which he was bringing to the eyrie.

The fledglings have also begun competing for the food. When all of this takes place, in just a few minutes, the sound is increadible.
