The First Gyrfalcon Nestlings
by Bryce W. Robinson
I’d like to share this image I was privy to while conducting some work in a Gyrfalcon nest yesterday morning. The earliest nesting Gyrfalcons have young chicks at the moment, which is good news for my study. I remember seeing these four a few weeks ago, when they were just eggs. I’ve seen eggs turn into birds many times, and will again and again, but I’ll always pause in wonder and amazement at the process. And the Gyrfalcon beat goes on…
What an exciting thing to be able to share. That is a set of beautiful chicks, and I wish them a long, healthy life. May they make many more, just like them.
Eggcellent B! Thanks for posting the update
Wow what a privilege! Great birds
