[SBB] PEFA Chick's on Power Tower



All:

 

This morning, Thursday May 10 at 10:30, I'd walked out to the mouth of Steven's Creek.  On the shorter of the two power-towers that are closest to the river mouth (to the southeast, in pond B1), is a Peregrine Falcon nest with 2 chicks.  The adult PEFA was very aggressive.  It made a very determined chase after another high-flying falcon.  Then it made a grab at a close-flying Canada Goose.  Then it made a direct flight at me!  But it pulled up to circle overhead, and fly back to the tower.

 

One of the chicks appears old-enough to leave the nest.  The other appeared younger, although it didn't stand up enough for me to get a good look.
