New Chicks in Town

During the night last night something wonderful happened: the pair of peregrine falcons nesting at the San Jose City Hall brought 3 new bundles of white fluff into the world. Thanks to a webcam supplied by the Santa Cruz Predatory Bird Research Group, many people, myself included, were able to witness the event. Though it was difficult to see what was going on in the dim light, it was obvious that some of the eggs had hatched. By morning there were 3 eyasses (baby falcons) in the nest. Congratulations Jose and Clara. I look forward to watching these young birds grow over the next months.
