Horton Hatches a Who!
Actually, the Peregrine Falcon hatched an egg. She's in the way most of the time, but I thought I saw an egg with the beginnings of a hole in it on Tuesday, and yesterday I saw bits of fluff a few times, peeking out from under Mama. Finally, I caught sight of Baby #1.
Actually, there are probably two babies in this picture, but I can't tell for sure. There were four eggs in all, hopefully all will hatch successfully. The babies are scheduled to be banded on May 26th.

Cool! Just in time for Mother's Day.
That is incredilby cool!
That web site is so much fun! Before I retired I used to walk below the ledge with the nests. Really, really, wonderful thing they are doing with the falcons in town.
How adorable.
There is still one egg left, as of Saturday. I'm afraid that one might not have made it. Hopefully the other three will survive to adulthood.
