McKenzie Seeds - 2010 / Brooklyn & Hurricane
bev.:
Columbus only had 2 of their 4 eggs hatch thi syear and it is probably a good thing as the male there is learning. He is doing a great job, but took him awhile to get used to incubating and now he is feeding. so who knows .

--- Quote from: Rose on May 31, 2010, 18:37 ---TPC do you suppose two of the 4 eggs seen earlier were not hurricanes? I'm almost positive the other female had layed 2eggs before the nest got taken over by Brooklyn & Hurricane,would Hurricane still have incubated them as hers or would she have turfed them, do Perigrines do those kinds of things? ???

I looked at the timing Rose and there really wasn't quite enough time for the "first" female to get down to laying, we just didn't see the pair together for long enough - 3 weeks minimum is needed. I suspect that it was a case of non-viable eggs rather than anything else - the eggs were observed at the proper intervals etc by someone who has been doing this for a long time. So though stranger things have happened, but looking at what we know, I think its a good bet that these are all Hurricane's and Brooklyn's and that for whatever reason, two were not viable - maybe the stress of defending a territory had something to do with that, no way to know. It happens, and it will mean that the two chicks that do hatch will get plenty of food and attention from their parents, one of whom is new at this and the other has only done this once before and with a much older, more experienced partner the last time.

the female in Gulf, Pittsburgh, incubated her 3 and the other females 2, and all 5 hatched and are doing very well.
2 eggs have gone missing in REd Deer also.
