Nature Notes

June 1
Peregrine Hatchlings
Up and down the cliffs of the North Shore of Lake Superior the eggs of the amazing Peregrine Falcon have just hatched! The lone chick to the right hatched just hours before this photo was taken. Peregrines nest on sides of cliffs and sometimes in trees at locations 50 to 200+ feet in the air. The female incubates the eggs with help from the male for 29-32 days. At first hatch they are immobile with eyes closed and must be fed. Young are able to fly after 35-42 days.
