Mercifully few photos. I won't employ the u-word. But Dianna, would you tell us again, please, in what ways these birds are attractive at this stage? Faces a...
OK, Cleve...you win. Let's just say they are in an "awkward" stage..if you have kids then think of the hormones gone crazy, zits, voice- changing, and legs out...
I disagree with both of you. They are gorgeous. I'm a mother, but not theirs. They are still beautiful. Cleve didn't even share the best with you . . . look at...
Cleve - Don't post here often, but ALWAYS look at the photos you post. We're watching our "local" peregrines up here very closely, so haven't been down your...
Hi All, Got up to Shell Beach again Saturday. Pretty soon it will be all over for this year. I only saw two juveniles together at any one time although I...
Okay, all you mothers out there, maybe the R-T nestlings aren't so . . . U-know. It is amazing how fast they change. You can see that beauty emerging, Dianna. ...
hello my name is Ryan Jorgeson. I live in San Luis Obispo. Where is this nest location in Shell Beach? Where is the best place to view them from? do you have...
Hey Cleve...really nice shots of a very intent youngster. I just love the expression on the face, and as usual I am amazed at how quickly they grow into...
Thanks, Dianna. In fact, the nest is 50 feet off the ground - - 100 feet line-of-sight from the one place I can get a clear shot through the foliage. When it...
This little guy is fine - but had quite the adventure fledging from Oracle in Redwood Shores, CA. I was out there while this was all going on, but the photos...
Yikes! Talk about heart in throat! Those are amazing photos of a very plucky little falcon. Dianna [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
We've had such high winds the last couple of days, I was afraid the red- tail chicks may have been blown from the nest. But I went by this afternoon and,...
I don't recall exactly, and can't find the post in the Oracle Falcon group somehow, but I remember it as about 6 or so minutes. He then spent a fair bit of...
We've had 6 fledglings at the Rock this year, 3 on each side. 4 falcons and 2 tiercels. A bumper crop. It's beginning to look as if the older set, from the...
Still windy, ruffling their feathers and mine by making tough lighting even trickier. One youngster appears anxious to fly. He climbs up a limb a little way...
Nice shots Cleve...they look just about ready to go. I know there probably is a good reason the feather colors are almost orange over their crop...Mother...
I hadn't been by the nest for a couple of days, so I stopped on the way home from work to see if the two chicks had fledged. One was visible, but I think the...
Nice shot, Cleve! I think birds sense when there is no danger, and this kid hasn't learned to hunt other birds yet...I'm assuming. Plus a siskin is a lot...
One of Glenn's photos of George, a San Francisco peregrine, appears on the web site of the Environmental Photo Invitational. You are in good company Glenn....
Cleve, As usual, great shots. I really like the finch that landed right in front of the red-tail! Surprised the red-tail didn't take a stab at it and fledge...
This afternoon, the chick I didn't see yesterday left the nest to venture out onto a broken off snag that is about three feet below the nest. He (I think it's...
