Yesterday night the smaller of the 2 Pitt peregrine chicks, “Yellow”(*), jumped as much as the nestrail and out of digicam view. This sequence from the snapshot digicam exhibits the place he went.
Peregrine chick “Yellow” hops up out of digicam view, 27 Could 2024, 7:06pm
The streaming digicam by no means noticed it. In the meantime the remaining chick, feminine “Blue”(*), remained on the inexperienced perch.
Generally she wasn’t seen on the streaming digicam however you may see your complete space right here on the snapshot web page.
As I used to be penning this, Yellow got here again right down to the nest. Seen on the snapshot digicam (prime) and streaming digicam (backside).
Within the subsequent couple of days the variety of chicks on the nest will fluctuate till each are gone. Don’t fear. They’re stepping as much as the nestrail — the “runway” — the place they’ll be taught to fly.
Yellow’s first step occurred a lot earlier than I anticipated. Fledge Watch is perhaps too late to see him!
(*) Names: Yellow and Blue are quickly named for the coloured tape positioned on their USFW bands once they had been banded final week. Yellow is the smaller one, seemingly male. Blue is the bigger and positively feminine.
