Peregrine chicks hatch downtown

At least some of the four eggs in the peregrine falcon nesting box atop a downtown Boise skyscraper have hatched, and tiny, fuzzy chicks are now being brooded, or kept warm, by their mother on this Mother’s Day.  You can watch live here . There’s some info here on how peregrine falcon chicks grow and develop and what to expect in the coming days and weeks. When I peeked at the webcam this afternoon, the mom was brooding the chicks, then flew out of the nest and returned with some food, ate most of it, and fed some of it to the softly cheeping chicks, concentrating on one of the two. There appeared to be two chicks and two remaining eggs still to hatch.Then the proud mom settled back in, huddling over the chicks and eggs.
