5/6/2005: Look at the birdies
I've mentioned and linked to the San Francisco peregrine falcon nest cam before, but look how the chicks are growing! I thought it bore another repeat post, since I don't know if I can trust you guys to check in on them or not.
Now we know where the phrase "stretching one's wings" comes from:
Watch this local news video to see the chicks, or more properly, eyasses, close-up and personal, and hear them, as they get banded by researchers. (Sorry about the commercial in the beginning, sigh.)
Here's a view of their home at PG&E Headquarters, from street level:
Do look in on them from time to time - they're still very clumsy and comical, but it probably won't be long before they grow up and move out. As far as I know, the other cam falcons around the country are also doing well, as is the Massachusetts bald eagle family who now have two chicks! The second hatched on April 18.
