Bird Cams Around the World

Here is a video of a "rescue" of a juvie hawk after an encounter with a peregrine falcon shot at 16th and market streets on jan 10. I hope it wasnt one of the FI hawks

THE CAM IS UP

the nest looks more confined this year after all the rennovations the happy hawk couple have beein doing

think this is the formel this am

we now have our first egg laid this afernoon at about 210

second egg laid this morning at roughly 1115am

Third egg confirmed this morning for the hawks at 1108am!

Thank you George! I just realized the cam is up again!

Since i had to go to the dentist at 0900 and the FI nest is only 20 blocks away, i had to make a detour. The formel was hunkered down atop her eggs when i arrived at 0715ish and the tiercel was across the vine street expressway perched within wing flaps of the nest on the 3rd floor ledge



Before flying across the street to check in the mrs, he had to do some grooming so that he wouldnt have to make any eggscuses for his wild night away from home



at roughly 0815ish he flew across vine street to the family manor to check in with the mrs. He didnt stay long however


EGGSPECTED HATCH DATE is sometime around the week of April 17th

Beautiful pics George! Thank you!

This morning at roughly 1040 AM philly time a rather large sized pip was seen on one of the hawk's 3 eggs. As of darkness the pip is still there and larger. We may have a hatch tomorrow for easter sunday
When we do i hope to post a shot of the new hawk bundle of joy to make his debut here for all of us Then maybe more when s/he and fellow sibliings yet to hatch are tall enough to slice over the rim of the nest.

That may take a couple weeks as its roughly 45 days from hatch to fledge.

Since I have both an appointment wednesday and another on thursday at Penn 14 blocks away this next week i hope to get down to get shots of the formel and tiercel delivering groceries at least

As you can tell i am getting even more eggcited with the hawks and the harrisburg flacon's bundles of joy and i would not mind going into wilmington to see GG's first born too shortly. I may end up running around between all three like a proverbial "headless pigeon" I just hope i wont end up as a "menu item" though

overnight we have had a hatch at the Franklin Institute

Eyas is very active and was fed by the formel at 615 this am



first bites

just a hawk family portrait



waiting for pip in egg 3 to appear

#3 hatched!! :)

Since i had an appointment not too far from the Nest site at the Franklin Institute i thought i'd detour there first this am.

The formel is definitely sitting higher on her eyass as she could be seen finally brooding her triplets

a couple portraits shot at 0730am
