DEE AND BJ 2020 KENTUCKY RIVER CLIFF NEST

These three were hatched earlier than Boone and Rose's nest on approximately April 16.  This is a new cliff site and is very far away, behind trees and at a difficult angle.  Photos will not be great.  And, as a reminder all my photos are taken at such a distance that the Peregrines are mere specks and I rarely know what I've seen until I edit, crop and zoom in on my photos.  There are some real surprises!

Dee and BJ have three eyasses D9, D10, D11. D is for the female of the pair. Numbers started with the first hatch of D1 and include all hatched young, even those who did not survive to fledge. As of these photos we estimate they were 26-29 days old. Their cliff area is large with plenty of room to exercise wings and move about. It is well protected from weather and very well hidden.

Estimated age is 26-29 days old.  I can find myself estimating very poorly so adjust as they develop.
