And Then There Were 2!

We now have 2  falcon chicks in the nest! At about 5:30 this morning, Astrid came back with some breakfast and began feeding the siblings. She tore tiny pieces of meat off a carcass and tenderly fed the chicks for about 10 minutes before settling back down on them and the remaining 2 eggs. With such cold morning temperatures, it’s very important that she keeps the brood warm.
