Falcons do everything fast. I barely had time to hit the record button before the mating was over.

Not a good hatch year at the Bluff for Michelle and Travis. 2 eggs were nonviable and removed or eaten by the parents, had 1 hatch, which was named by GSBDweller's daughter as MacIntosh, or Mac for short. This name was picked after some orchards, a chatter said. A fourth egg half way hatched, but it seems the chick was too weak to finish its entrance into the world. Poor Michelle stared at this egg/chick for 2 days not knowing what to think or do. At one point she tried to peal the shell away to no avail, and finally carried it out of the box this morning. There is still 1 more egg they have been keeping warm along with the sole hatched little "Mac".

Here's a video of Michelle taking the half hatchling/half egg out of the box this morning.

Not Again!!!! GSB's Macintosh falls from the nest box. They think he was bothered by insects.

Wouldn't it be nice if the falcon boxes were made like this box? How many falcons would this little design change save from falling?

One thing I have noticed in the "good" boxes is that there is air flow. It doesn't seem that even with it being up where it is, that this box gets any good air flow. I think we should have a box designing contest and have RC submit a super deluxe highrise with a roof top deck and custom paint job.

Its good to know that they can hear the little feller squalling.

They've spotted Mac and he looks great! He's sitting in top of a tree right now preening like he doesn't have a care in the world. LOL! I can't even believe this.
I don't know how in the world GSBDweller found him with the cam. Lano says a chatter named Kdubya64 spotted him and a few minutes later GSBDweller zoomed in on him!
They watched Michelle or Travis come and feed Mac. Those GSB falcon kids are dare devils!

Here's a snip I took of Mac in the tree. Lano has more in our Picture Gallery.
