Kestrels hatching, too
It is looking more and more like the remaining two Peregrine eggs may not hatch. However, the American Kestrel eggs have also begun to hatch. I think there are three chicks (one that is still wet) in the pic, below. The kestrel webpage is:

There are now 4 kestrel chicks. I was lucky enough to see mom feed them for 10 minutes or so.

Thanks, Courtney. Glad to know you’re still checking to see what is going on back in Lincoln!
Is it unusual for the Kestrel to have 6 chicks? They are very fun to watch!

Thanks for the comment. 6 chicks is on the extreme side, but not unheard of…..
