NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife: Live Stream of Newly Hatched Peregrine Falcon Chicks


NOTE: Image quality varies with weather and lighting conditions.

From Nestbox News on May 4: "We have hatchlings at Jersey City! Early this morning, 6:20 AM, there was one chick getting what may have been its first meal! At that time there were still three eggs that the chick was nestled within. The mom spent most of the morning keeping the eggs and chick warm, and by noon it appeared that all the eggs had hatched. Eggshell remnants can be seen in the nest but are soon removed by the adult and some are eaten to replenish the mother’s calcium. The hatchlings are slightly pink and very small, but do lift themselves up a little to take brief feedings."
