Cool Summer Hang Out (Falco peregrinus)

This little one cries incessantly for its parents to feed her. Eventually the mother turns her back to the fledgling and the little one calms down. Little is a bit of a misnomer in that this fledgling is about the size of the mother, and bigger than the father.

Nice work Curt. I have had the pleasure watching our birds successsfully fledge. They are now going on their field trips and learning to be what they are ....masters of the skies with no piers.

Wonderful this juvenile.

Am I misstaken that there is also a webcam of these Peregrines Falcons that nest on a bridge or is that at a other location.
I also watch Peregrines Falcons webcams around the world besides the ones in Holland at De Mortel. That is why I ask this question. ;)

Roosje, There is no webcam on these but there is one 9 miles south on the Dunn Memorial Bridge.
