Growing by leaps and bounds

Check the feet on these guys.


"What's he trying to do, fly away?"



Here is some information about the Growth and Development of Peregrine Falcon Chicks

It's been almost 3 weeks since the first egg hatched. Anita, One of the Falconheads here in Indy (who has contributed some photos to this blog) noticed early this morning that their 'real' feathers are starting to show. These look a bit like a comb at this stage - almost like exposed, thin, bones. The link above has a good description of the early growth and development and the emergence of these feathers is right on schedule.
