Is anyone else wondering about Jersey? I haven't seen a Falcon there yet.

On the page with the Jersey City cam link, the Jersey City followers have two entries, March 23 and March 31. It would seem that they are just as perplexed as we are that the falcons have not returned to this nest. They say that they will keep the cam online through April... :girlsad3:

Union I thought I may have seen a pip today, but don’t think chicks are expected until April 30. Probably just a feather stuck on the egg.

Interesting quote from the Union County comment section “ Today NJDEP Zoologist, Kathy Clark treated the eyases for parasitic flies. Kathy noticed via the webcam video that the underside of the chicks wings looked black...a telltale sign of fly bites. After spraying the birds and the nest substrate, Kathy then fed them chicken laced with medication to prevent trichomonas, a pigeon borne disease. Many thanks to Kathy, Robert and Rich for their help!” End quote Awesome job, Kathy!!

Currently all four are wandering around on the ledge...BM 52 (female) is really working on her preening....

AT Union the cam operator is busy tracking the chicks- one is trundling along on the nest box ledge, and the other is on the roof cam..... how did he get up there??

Two of the three babies are visible at the moment, on separate cams...One is hanging around the nestbox, looking for food scraps. The other is on the roof cam preening o the other end of the building....

Mom is currently beak feeding the rooftop fledgling...

Thanks, Sky!

The juvies are making the cam operators life a little easier today... They are together this morning, lined up on one of the turf covered rails....

Tsusan · **Posted:** Thu Jun 11, 2020 8:29 am

This morning there is one adult on the roof cam, perched on the rail, looking actively and calling- I’m thinking one or two have fledged.... Meanwhile one sleepy baby is huddled down in the nestbox....
