Yesterday night the smaller of the 2 Pitt peregrine chicks, “Yellow”(*), jumped as much as the nestrail and out of digicam view. This sequence from the snapshot digicam reveals the place he went.

The streaming digicam by no means noticed it. In the meantime the remaining chick, feminine “Blue”(*), remained on the inexperienced perch.

Generally she wasn’t seen on the streaming digicam however you’ll be able to see the complete space right here on the snapshot web page.

As I used to be penning this, Yellow got here again all the way down to the nest. Seen on the snapshot digicam (high) and streaming digicam (backside).

Within the subsequent couple of days the variety of chicks on the nest will fluctuate till each are gone. Don’t fear. They’re stepping as much as the nestrail — the “runway” — the place they’ll study to fly.

Yellow’s first step occurred a lot prior to I anticipated. Fledge Watch is likely to be too late to see him!

(*) Names: Yellow and Blue are quickly named for the coloured tape positioned on their USFW bands after they had been banded final week. Yellow is the smaller one, doubtless male. Blue is the bigger and positively feminine.
