Friday morning at the nest

The Ustream camera is now rolling at the Franklin Institute and we can watch all the action at the nest.

Here is the formel at 9:30 AM on Friday rearranging some newspaper that arrived earlier.

The grid at the bottom of the screen is a reflection from inside the window.

Then the tiercel arrived with a large stick which he laid across the newspaper.

He then tweaked the stick and the newspaper until all was to his liking.

 

One way to tell the difference between the two birds is to look for the slightly lighter white stippling or streaking on the tiercel's head
