Cornell Kestrel Cam ~ Two Feedings ~ Junior Goes On Wild Ride Again; Big Bites, Long Pulls 6.24.18
Mom Kestrel comes in with two prey items and feeds her babies. Junior comes around and gets up there to eat and grabs a big piece and she pulls it back again and he goes tumbling forward at 7:41. lol Mom tries to feed this long piece and keeps pulling it out of their beaks. 2nd prey item at 12:34 and the oldest is passed out in the corner and #2 chick gets to swallow half of it whole! Watch the feet go down! Mom Kestrel had 12 deliveries and all chicks ate well. Thank you for watching!
Video captured & edited by Lady Hawk
Four downy American Kestrel nestlings are tucked into a gravel-bottomed nest on private property near Prairie Du Chien, Wisconsin. The nest box is located on the side of a traditional limestone-footed barn, overlooking a rolling grassland that slopes away into folded hills and forests. Cornell Lab & Raptor Resource Project have teamed up to provide this new live cam.The kestrel is North America’s littlest falcon & packs a predator’s fierce intensity into its small body. It's number one of the most colorful raptors - the male’s slate-blue head and wings contrast elegantly w/rusty-red back & tail. The female has the same warm reddish on her wings, back, & tail.
Egg laying dates for this nest were on May 8-15-17-19-21; hatching dates for the four nestlings were June 14-16-16-18. The 5th egg was non viable.

Priceless........the oldest one having a food coma! Thank you!
Oh wow, he is just sleeping, i thought he died
He sure was in a deep sleep.
Damn for a moment i tought he was dead
ОНИ СПЯТ ОЧЕНЬ КРЕПКО КОГДА СЫТЫЕ❤❤❤🎉
I was surprised to see the littlest one get through and make it to the front! 🤣🤣😂
I was rooting for that fella. It clearly needed more food since it was a smaller than the other three.
This really lets us see how trie is the phrase “Survival of the fittest.” The bigger, stronger ones get fed more, therefore increasing their chances. ❤️

1:45 :
Can’t get over the passed out chick and junior is right up there feeding. Great video! Thanks Lady Hawk for the smile ❤️❤️
Eva Andersen are you sure he’s passed out, he’s barely breathing
Eva < - - - it is bon appetit nonetheless. Gooble up Chow down❗

سبحان من أوحى لهذا الطائر أن يطعم فراخه ومكن الصغير أن يتقدم ليأخذ حصته..
So take off your pants and wack off!
Very caring and loving mom! ❤❤ Never tired of feeding its own babies. So cute. God bless! Thanks for d video.
I didn’t think the smaller one was ever gonna get a bite to eat lol
I know! I felt so bad for him. Thank goodness.
Lol yep but it force thru it
It did, check out 4:45 12:53 just a few I got, but definitely didn't get as much as the other two.
He doesnt ask for it as much as the others… anyway, he ended up getting some
What a stretching prey! 🤣 I like smallest chick. always do that 😆 Thank you for sharing :-)
Oh geez! That little one in the back needs to step up or no food. He seems tiny. Ahhh finally he does. What a handful she has. Poor baby i feel for him. Tysm for sharing my friend ❣
I just can’t get enough of watching these little ones eat I’ve been following them since they hatched n they are so funny to watch I love how the cuddle up together n when they walk they move so fast with there skinny long legs they move from one side to the other so fast it’s adorable
My favorite part is when the mom rips the flesh from the mouse and feeds it to her children.
Lady Hawk, I appreciate your comments on your videos. This is one busy mama.
They are adorable. I was worried about baby being in the back getting food, but boy didn’t take Jr. long to get up front all in Mom’s grill. 😂😂😂
Junior is very creative and is getting right up in there! He ate a whole rodent by himself yesterday too while his bigger siblings watched!!
So Cutie Adorable the Babies And the super Mother
By the end that little one's crop is huge - it's stuffed. :-)
Lol that's what I wanted to say about the other clip the other one hogging the other food
That baby is a brute he bitten at one of the big birds then pushed his way to the front. as long as the little bird gets enough to eat im pretty sure he be the dominate one over that nest..
Wow! That’s a lot of mouths to feed. I always hear their beautiful sounds when watching SWFL Eagles. The adults are bigger than I thought. I love watching your captured videos. I’ve been watching the albatrosses too and now I’ll be checking these guys out. The baby in the back is in a food coma lol! Thanks, Lady Hawk. So many questions I have.
That runt’s a fighter 💪👌🙌
@1:45, that one finally made it to the front...and it looked like the rest of them were like "Yeah, it's this guys turn...he NEEDS some more food."
Everyone was rooting for the little one!
Hello Pyro Falcon yes I was too!! Do you know that we had four kestrels hatch today? Here is the link to my video I just published! Four down and one to go! kzhead.info/sun/gdpvctdxfV-Gea8/bejne.html
12:23 I like how the one on the right is just chillin
He fell asleep, tummy is 🌝 Full!!!
I watch this clip over and over again!It's so funny!
Wow! The first feeding was the funniest feeding I have seen on any nest. I couldn't stop laughing! And Junior can really hold his own. They are even more entertaining than the Jersey City Falcon sisters were. 😂😂😂 Thank you, Lady Hawk!
Somehow, or any otherway unbeknownst to us, the mother has put the older chicks in check and allowed the youngest to be in the front of the line to eat. Amazing!
IKR - Looks like it was the look
Peregrine falcons and kestrels are definitely more equitable in sharing food than stork mothers or osprey mothers. I haven't seen sibling bonking or aggression so far in either. True, the youngest and weakest don't survive in times of food scarcity but the mother kestrel tried to feed them. Which is why I preferv watching kestrel and peregrine nests. I watched stork mothers thin out their nests by killing/dropping the youngest, the weakest or the runts. I couldn't watch more than two of those clips. I didn't know that this was the way they ensure only the fittest survive. There was no food scarcity. And an osprey mother in Scotland ignored her trapped youngest chick who died of hypothermia. The two surviving chicks are doing well.
She clearly has favorites. The little runty one knows it has to be aggressive to survive.
Mother no tired for giving children eating 👍👍👍😍😍😍
Lol nice English.
Mother never tired for giving children food
Por que el grande se quedaria dormido tan rapido, o seria que le dio congestion??? LOL 😆
Wow mom has her work cut out for her. Four falcons to fledge is great. The babies eat so civilized. And the tugs with the food are funny. Thanks for a funny video.🤗
The little one sure is feisty. Came from the back and worked his/her way up front. They sure are getting a lot. Dad must be a great hunter. The largest one looks exhausted after all the feedings.
Yeah it's sleeping right? I've never seen a bird sleep
I think it was dead actually. They seem to sleep bunched up together. I saw another nest thing where a few chicks randomly passed. But those were titmouse though, so ya never know.
@@AllDogsGetMoneyis it dead?
그 어떤 코메디보다 웃음났어요 ㅋ 막내의 먹으려는 모습이 귀여워서 서로 싸우지않고 먹는모습 보기 좋았어요❤
You go Junior!!! You just push your way through and open wide!!! 😉
What a great mom feeding her babies🤗
Precious babies. Thanks LH. 💞💞💞💞❤️
Always my favourite video ....!!!!
Thanks mom, love you !!! ⚘🌷🍂❤👌😀
The little one is soo cute❤❤
Благодаря вам, к птицам ещё большее уважение испытываешь
LOL looks like they're standing in line waiting their turns!
Hi blueovalgal they really do look like they are waiting in line, When they get older - one chick will grab the entire prey and try and swallow it whole. If it can't do that, then another chick will grab it out of its sibling's mouth and try and swallow it. If that does not work, Mom will grab it and take it lol
Why the little one is always the cutest one?🐣
Beautiful clip
🥰. Wonder if mom gets a headache with all those cheeps😂
Didn't think the runt would get any untill it command the best. Nice vid.
I wish they all died except one
He hogged the whole thing on the other video lol
@@harperharper6343 Oh wow. Guess stuff really turned.
This is an older video but still fun to watch.
Love that tough little one!
RIP. Thanks lady hawk
The youngest chick Junior did not die! In fact, he fledged along with all his siblings!
Very funny at 7:44 when the little one gets a loooong piece, and the mother takes some back from him like saying, “Hey, that’s too much! Leave some for your siblings!” And he’s like, “Ah, thanks mom, I was chocking, pfftt! ❤️
막내 넘 귀여워서 웃음이 나네요 즐거운 시간이었어요
Love it!. Beautiful clip
thank god,the smallest chick tried hard enough,he earned the meat for himself.he queezed himself to the front,which really surprises me.everyone has eaten enough meat,some one even too much
Quite a brood momma🥰. Great job feeding them. Hey fly on the wall....you might be dessert
God bless my mother, and all mothers
That one all going for it. Can't even wait for mom
I had ear pods on and I reacted like there was a fly -flying by my ear 🐝zz☺😋😏
We Shall Rise ! Ha ha 😆🤣 same to me 🐝😴
YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
isso mesmo kkkk
得にありませんまだなれてないのでごめんなさい
All adorable. Fluffy downing feathers, and chirping hungry little babies coming to mama hawk for their feeding
Look at the food crop on junior! 😂
Spend a lot of time looking at the Keister cam.
Cuties 💕💕💕😘😘❤️❤️❤️👍👌
Adorable
I never thought an horror film could look so cute.
😂
Wow I’m getting a little behind on my viewing but this mama really has to bring it in !! These chicks are ferocious including the littlest one. He thinks he can swallow the pray all by himself 😂 that’s called self confidence. Thanks 😊
Hi Melba that is okay I am way behind in finding time to read and comment on all my videos!! I am so sorry for the delay!
Lady Hawk As long as you’re ok I’m sure your subscribers, including me can wait for your videos and insights. Thanks for really taking the time 😊
This really lets us see how trie is the phrase “Survival of the fittest.” The bigger, stronger ones get fed more, therefore increasing their chances. ❤️. Luckily, the biggest one staued back once he wasn’t very hungry anymore.
Go, go, go little guy!
That 1 chick be like I don’t need food 😂😂😂😂
The sweet little thing, finally made it out from under the pack, and up to the very front of the line. Soooo...it's been nearly 3 years...how'd they all turn out?
0:15 to 0:40...little one is like “I know there’s a party here somewhere”
## Как интересно смотреть, как Мамочка кормит СВОИХ ДЕТОК... она такая смешная , видно СОВСЕМ молодая , а так заботится о своих детках...17.8.19 г. Спасибо Вам большое за чудесное видео...РОССИЯ...

So amazing 😆
Başka akşam menü kardesleridir
She's doing a great job.
I laughed so hard! At guts lol. The Falconidae, while always Xtra Xtra, seem to be more equal feeders than many raptors. Love how the hobbie mom rotates around the rails to get to both chicks, and peregrine moms really try to get to everyone. Guess with kids like these, you have to do what you can to keep order! And what was that invisible force field mom put up behind Jr? 🤣😂 Maybe she took an Amazon delivery of a pet fence! She's like, "Hey, this is just the ticket!". Swipe.
Hi LemonLady! Saw you here and wanted to say hello 👋😊 Very charming share of this adorable lot! Amazon delivery lol🤣 See you on SWFL 🤗🦅
I love the "fluffer- huddle"!! When mama falcon leaves> IMMEDIATE SILENCE- so funny! 🤣🔇 And that spaghetti tug-o-war?! Better than any silly TV shows of today! ❤️ I watched twice 😅 Thanks for the memories LH 😘
Thank God the little one got its share.
Thats a hard nest to sleep on!🐣
That little one is a fighter. Went from the back to the front on the line to get a meal.
Junior went on to fledge and turned out to be a mighty Kestrel!!
Smart little kestrel moved to the front to have chance
Thanks, Ladyhawk, for sharing this cool new nest! I'm curious whether the chicks are blind at birth. It looks like the youngest one is not quite fully sighted yet. (Either that or s/he is on a bender, lol.) Do you happen to know? I realize you're still learning, too.
When hatched they are blind and they slowly develop their eyesight over the next week or so. Junior is 8 days old so should be seeing better now :)
One of my favourite video ,very very attractive! !!!
What are they eating?
13:44 - 13:59 the big one almost ate the whole thing till mommy took it back. I thought he was going to choke, but after sharing for just a little he finally ate all the rest at 14:44
What did she bring second time?
Perjuangan si kecil yg tidak sia2...👍
I thought fly was on my screen 😂😂
same 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What?
The youngest has alot to make up for...Very feisty. Was worried but Mom knows what she's about ^-^
He finally got a hold of that Spanish 🪰
Dad is great👪
Super mammy
Нет не супер она всех несмотрет на одной глаз она не честно поступает малому ничего не дает!!!
The one chick in the back must be full its going to sleep,she a good mother she makes sure every chick gets some food, so it seems
Lady hawk, what are the time gaps between each feeding and how many times are they fed? ?
Hi Gary - they were fed about 4-6 times a day - usually every hour -to two hours! All four fledged successfully!
Very nice Video so sweet
@5:43 lol so cute
Is the biggest nestling dying? He looked fine throughout the whole time.
Good job mom
兄弟和睦可親,很棒的一家
Did all these babies survive?
Yes all the babies survived and fledged successfully! It was a great season!
Still better than my mom
Now im little happier!
Luar biasa perjuangan seorang..ibu💕👍
Is the chick lying on the ground due to food coma? I thought it was a dead chick
The last one is dead?
i wonder what happened to that older chick its not sleeping
Very nice
Umm what happened after the other chick passed out? Never saw that happen b/f.
This is a common occurrence we doubt food comas. When a chick gorges - they end to fall a sleep afterwards! Sometimes they fall a sleep while eating- wake up and keep swallowing and rest again!!
I didn't know that thank you. I thought it was far worse.
I am thinking no creature on this earth hasn't easy ,and truly is survival of the fetes .
Did one of them died?
Adorei seu canal sucesso para seu canal no KZhead e que Deus sempre os abençoe
Amen
I’m pulling for the little one.
The video didn’t show to what happen to the other baby that is laying and not moving? What happen?
Read the description on every video you watch
Wat happened to the last one
