Hooked on Falcon Cam

Darn you Barb!

All was well until Barb found out about the San Jose Falcon Cam.  A couple of falcons made nest on the roof of San Jose City Hall.  San Jose being in the heart of the  geek capitol of the world, naturally someone throws a web cam up there.   Barb has watched these guys for a while.  I only recently got hooked. They have grown so fast.  Now they look like fat little awkward turkeys, but soon will be ready to fly. I must admit, I keep a falcon cam window open and check in on them every once in a while. Have seen mom and dad come in with a breakfast or lunch of fresh killed pigeon (or some other bird) and feed it to the babies.

Even saw a guy from UC Santa Cruz repel down there to put a band around the little one’s ankle.  Pretty cool  to see the mom swooping in to try to scare the guy away.  I think there are only a few weeks left of good falcon cam. Soon the babies will be flying and leaving the nest. Overall its a lot of laying around, just like in nature.
