2010 NESTING SEASON
The city of Jackson, Michigan has its first peregrine nest. The female here is Big Red, who was born in Chicago in 2008, the daughter of Rahn (banded black/green, 01/A) and her then-new mate.
The amazing reproducing peregrine falcons of Jackson now have a fourth egg (April 2010)
Easter is an egg holiday for falcons as well as bunnies. Big Red, a rare peregrine falcon nesting atop the Jackson County Tower Building has laid her fourth egg. Suspicions were detected on Good Friday then a fourth egg was confirmed photographically, said Connie Frey, director of information technology for Jackson County government. Frey is the county's Unofficial Peregrine Falcon Coordinator from her office on the 16th Floor of the Tower Building. Her office installed the Falcon Cam.
Four eggs is the top end of the normal range for peregrine falcons, according to experts with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. So Big Red, at age 2, is doing a good job of motherhood so far. Click here to read about Big Red when she was barely more than a newborn herself. If all goes well, the eggs will hatch in May. The possibility more eggs may be laid cannot be ruled out.
"Being as she is such a young mother, I hope she is done," Frey said.
