Late this afternoon I watched the Taughannock Peregrine female take delivery of an unrecognizable catch from the male, fly to the nest with it, then tear it up to carefully and patiently feed her four little eyases (nestlings).
The Raven female above the great falls was also feeding her three nestlings. Their scarlet gapes and blue eyes are unforgettable! -Geo -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
