Yesterday was a day off for us, so while Jeanette had a perm
in Newport, I checked out Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area. The draw for
birders right now is these Peregrine Falcon chicks in their “scrape”. I learned that yesterday that they do not
technically make a “nest”, but place a little bit of material in a “scrape”. The
chicks are replacing their down with feathers, making quite a messy area as you
can see in the photo with bits of down all over the place.
