Carnivorous little powder puffs

A few screenshots from raptor nestcams other than the SWFL eagles for a change.

The Berkeley Peregrine falcon pair Annie and Grinnell's three three-week-old chicks, who are getting banded next week, presumably on camera if you want to catch that.

A messy but fluffy bunch.

One of the chicks exercising their wings, with a good look at the less fluffy underside of the wing. And pin feathers are well underway.

And some feeding shots from the Cornell Red-tailed hawk nest. The third chick only just hatched, so they are still brooded by their mom Big Red at pretty much all times other than when she gets up to feed them. The nest has a full pantry of various prey dad Arthur has brought, in this screenshot mostly blocked from view by mom. Warning that the rest of the screenshots will show gory prey, but if you don't mind that the chicks are very adorable.

All lined up. I'm pretty sure that's the youngest chick at the back, but it did get fed, too.

That's a bit too big of a bite for tiny beaks.

It's been rainy this morning, but the chicks have a good mombrella.
