Update! 

As of 4/26/12 three of the four chicks started to make their way out of their shells (shown below).  The fourth chick hatched on 4/27/12 which coincides with the later arrival of that egg.  The chicks look to be pretty healthy and the parents keep them fed by taking turns bringing food back to the nest.  Based on an untrained eye, it looks as though the chicks have doubled their size in the last week. 

On May 15th at 10 AM, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources will be banding the chicks in the Courthouse Atrium.  As per last year, the chicks will be on display during this time, so feel free to stop by and check them out!

The 3 of 4 eggs are cracked...

Here is a video of the three chicks eating their first meal, please be patient while it downloads.

First Meal

As of 3/25/12 there are 4 eggs in the nest.  The first eggs were laid early last week and the gestation period is about 33 days, so the healthy chicks should hatch around the end of April.

If you've ever wondered if the male falcon cares for the eggs, here's proof that he does sit on them when the female is out of the nest.

Here's a photo of the female for comparison.

Here's a video of the male falcon walking into the nest to care for the eggs.  You can appreciate the size of the female when the male has to gather the eggs and fluff his feathers around them to get them covered.
