@skh4birdies.bsky.socialF24 does this at some point every year, especially when a chick first ventures into the gutter. Was shocked to see it the first time!

@skh4birdies.bsky.social#367CollinsSt. falcons. When F24 rose from brooding to take prey to the pantry, 1 chick got caught on her foot & was pulled out towards the ledge. The little one pined for its floof pile till mum returned & quickly put him/her back in place.

@skh4birdies.bsky.social@skh4birdies.bsky.socialGreat capture, by the way!
@skh4birdies.bsky.socialThey have kindly delayed this necessary work until after the last egg has hatched. This will be a brief outage scheduled from 6:45am until 8:15am Tuesday 6th Oct.” Perhaps clearing the flooded gutter was a side benefit. Now they just need to restart the DVR.
@skh4birdies.bsky.socialBeing as I’ve got vacation brain, I completely forgot yesterday’s message from Dr. Hurley: “I have been contacted by the building owners of 367 Collins and they need to do a system upgrade to ensure the continued live stream feed for the rest of this season.
@skh4birdies.bsky.socialOh, wow! I’d assumed the water would evaporate before the chicks became mobile. Good, I’m glad they did that. Thanks for the heads up!
@skh4birdies.bsky.socialThey’re up for me.

@skh4birdies.bsky.social#367CollinsStreet Falcons. #F24&M24 have this breeding thing down to an art. 4 successful hatches over 4 days. Falcons have been nesting here on this 33rd floor ledge for some 30 years.

@skh4birdies.bsky.social#BigBear #baldeagles. Shadow & Kaydee’s arrival at the nest was a little rough with Kaydee a bit too close, causing a minor collision. They shuffled a few sticks, shared a couple beakies, then departed to the roost tree for the night.

@skh4birdies.bsky.social#367CollinsStreet falcons. Then there were 3 tiny eyases. Food was delivered by the hunting machine, dad M24, within the hour. It’s raining buckets, so feedings will be hit & miss during storm breaks.

@skh4birdies.bsky.social#367CollinsStreet Falcons. It was a big day for #1. Hatching, meeting mum and dad, and enjoying their first meal ever! #1 did very well before falling into the requisite food coma.

@skh4birdies.bsky.social#367CollinsSt. Falcons. F24 & M24 welcomed chick #1 🐣
This chick made quick work of zipping out of its shell, showing itself at 6:46:53 a.m. We should see at least #2 later today.

@skh4birdies.bsky.socialAh, yes, indeed. You are never a bother. Thanks for the observation.
