Ferenz - What a sweet picture of Börni feeding Bianca as well as the chicks!

P.S. Sorry I repeated your news about the 3rd chick here this morning - I must have still been sleeping when I made that post.

More kestrel news . . .

    - Swiss Rhine Nest #1 has 7 (yes, that's seven) chicks!

    Image

    - Nest at Petah Tikva in Israel now has 2 "planted" chicks. The 3 eggs that were laid did not hatch, so they were replaced with 2 chicks from the wildlife hospital on May 25. The full story - with pictures of the 2 cute chicks - is here:



    - The Kestrel Nesting Calendar has been updated.

Once again, I'm turning to you Kestrel experts...I've been trying to clean up my bookmarks...clicked on this one..It says Tel-Aviv University "Barn Owls"...obviously, this is not a Barn Owl...anybody have a clue about this nest?

SGB - The nest you questioned is the Israel - Petah Tikva Common Kestrel nest, and I have no idea why "Barn Owls" is in the title of the page when it comes up. I usually get to it using this link (http://www.birds.org.il/1165-en/Birding-Israel.aspx) and then clicking on the kestrel picture.

BTW - Your picture shows the two new "planted" chicks that were swapped for 3 bad eggs as I noted in my previous post.

Some images from Lesser Kestrel nest # 3 in Elyakim -
parents now usually just drop the (smaller) preys in the nestbox or "hand" them over through the window:


Clip from May 25

Note the developing feathers on the wings -
note that the smallest actually is doing very well, still can't stand upright, but has learned to be very fast ;-) in order to survive.
