The Peregrine Falcon nest that Michael Beattie observes has three growing chicks in it. Here's a look at the chicks, taken earlier this month. You can see they are getting dark feathers now.
Here one of the parents has delivered dinner and is flying off for more.
For comparison, here is what they looked like in late May. Quite a difference!
Thanks to Michael for allowing me to share his photos with you here.
The Mendonoma coast has so many micro climates. At the ocean today, it's foggy. Up on the ridge, it's sunny. Take your pick!
