86th and West End Feeding

I keep hoping that the young Peregrine Falcons will begin to explore the ledges of the church tower, but I think I’m a few days too early.

Photographers working on a documentary reported seeing three chicks today from a nearby roof top, which is great news. No one has a full view of the eyrie through the tower’s arches, so there’s a chance that their might even be a fourth.

I watched the parents from the street, and got to see the adult male clean the feather’s off a Rock Pigeon, deliver it to the nest, and then swap places with the adult female. The young falcons made lots of noise when the food was delivered.

I’m looking forward to a fun June!
