Was hoping we'd have an egg here too but mom was actually out hunting today!! Saw her on the edge of our building looking for 'lunch' twice today..lol..I guess when you're eating for two.... :-*
Of course she could have one or two already and I wouldn't know although given that it was in the minuses with wind chill up until yesterday and she wasn't on the nest yesterday either, I'd guess not yet as I think she'd have to keep it warm in minus 7 weather wouldn't she?
Plus 10 for tomorrow so maybe ....

I have been waiting for the cam also Carly. I am so glad you are seeing them.
I will be going down to Thursday to see if I can see anything at my site.

Well...whoever flew through obviously hasn't dampened dad's spirits. I came out of a meeting and went out to check on them and witnessed another mating!! Should be some eggs coming within the next 4 or 5 days if they are on the same schedule as previous years! ;)
carly:
Ok I think I just witnessed an 'escort' out of the territory. I went out quickly to check on my pair and mom was on the nestbox, dad on webcam and suddenly a third falcon comes from out of nowhere, passes directly in front of their ledge - sees 2 other falcons - screaming starts and interloper takes off behind condo, dad in hot pursuit, interloper flies out over road, dad on his heels, saw dad hit him...both flew out of range but interloper high tailing it..in otherwords he's not fighting back.
Mom has moved to cam but no sign of dad back yet...I will keep checking. So much for my sandwich..lol Must say, never seen dad move so fast except when he's hunting!

Heh..yes it was exciting! Dad was on the webcam and mom on the nestbox, he flew off and around in a semi circle and then next thing I know there they were - and then he flew back to the cam ...lol...over in seconds! Wasn't quite how I pictured it..lol..I expected some canoodling first...hehe ;)
