About this listen

 Join us on a captivating journey through three years of bird-watching and photography, as we closely observe a remarkable eyrie. Witness the female falcon in her element, skillfully hunting for food, while the tiercel—the male falcon—remains behind to nurture and protect their chicks. Youll learn that a falcon chick is called an eyas, which beautifully explains the term eyrie for their nest. Discover the origins of the name tiercel, derived from Latin meaning third, which reflects the fascinating belief that one in three eggs produces a male, or simply highlights that the male falcon is one third smaller than its female counterpart. - Summary by RapunzelinaCopyright Animals & Nature
