There has been quite a saga at the falcon nest this year. Soon after the 4 eggs were laid way up high on a cliff edge, the father disappeared and another male moved in to help the mom. Finally they hatched about 6 weeks ago. Shortly after that, the mom disappeared. Since then the adoptive dad has been feeding them. There has been a 2 yo female hanging around. The 4 chicks fledged 1 1/2 weeks ago. Since then the 2 yo female has bee harrassing them. One of the females was found dead on the ground apparently having starved and another was taken to rapture rescue nearby. Now there are just two...this female and a weaker smaller male. The adoptive dad brought two birds in for them yesterday morning but the female managed to get them both. Here she is eating her fill.
