PLEASE SCROLL DOWN
The young peregrine has a tough first year where their mortality rate is highest at this stage. When the peregrine survives it's first winter, the odds of continued survival increase.
THESE PHOTOS WERE TAKEN ON MAY 27, 2009 JUST ONE HOUR AFTER EGGS 3 AND 4 WERE HATCHED OUT...
The MDNR will band the eyasses when they mature to about 3 weeks old. The nestling will begin to fledge when they reach approx 40-45 days old.
In 2004, 3 Peregrine Falcon chicks were raised by Stelco(female) and Alimak(male) at our Eckert Power Station. Alimak died April 2007 In 2008, 5 Peregrine Falcon chicks were raised by Stelco(female) and M.P.(male) In 2009, 4 Peregrine Falcon chicks were raised by Stelco (female) and M.P.
