The Peregrine Falcon eyasses (chicks) can still hide in the tower, but with some patience you can usually see all three of them in late afternoon and early evening. (See my post from last year, Viewing Tips for the 86th and West End Avenue Peregrine Falcons for a map and advice on how to watch the eyrie.)

The video and photos are from Monday afternoon and evening. When I arrived the mother was feeding two of the eyasses. The parents stayed away from the nest until late in the evening after dusk when the father made a quick visit to check on the young ones. The mother who we hadn’t seen for over an hour returned and was eating a pigeon after 8:30 p.m.

This schedule didn’t match previous days. As the eyasses get older they are fed bigger meals, less often. This might be the explanation for why the schedule changed.
