Title: Hamilton Peregrines
Post by: Misty01 on April 14, 2011, 07:53:39 AM

So excited to be able to not only watch Madame X on the Hamilton cam this year, but also her daughter Durand of the 2009 nesting season is nesting for the first time as well.
She's had a rough start, but seems to be incubating 5 eggs with her unbanded mate.
Luckly they have live stream so I can check in every once in a while...seems we have some vain birds from Hamilton  :D

Three Healthy Chicks! I checked on them everyday last year, but this year I haven't had as much time to do so.

Yeah I am so excited that they are looking good, sounds like the lift bridge one is doing good as well.
I am very sad that Durand and her young mate left the eggs in Ohio though :(
Guess it's hard the first year they try to mate and I think they are going to remove the eggs from the nest and check them for fertility.
