This morning I got up at 4:30am to take a friend to the airport. By the time I got home I was very sleepy, but decided to fight through it and start my sketch. The peregrine falcon nest was also quiet and the chicks were so cute all piled up against each other for warmth and comfort. They also looked as sleepy as I felt. Were they dreaming of their next feeding? Peregrine falcons hunt from the air and capture birds in flight, snipping off their heads and then plucking all the feathers before bringing the fresh kill into the nest....kind of like us shopping for chicken in the poultry section of our local market. After they are fed, they once again collapse into a heap and sleep it off. Hmmmm.....may have to take a cat nap after lunch today.
Enjoy the day!

Your falcon drawings are wonderful.
Really neat to see these birds on camera. I caught mom at home last night.
Thanks Tom for your comments. Sketching the birds helps me rationalize the time spent watching the falcon-cam. Glad you're enjoying them too!
