Keep the informative birdie posts a comin'!!!  More eyes and ears out there, the better for the ones that aren't able to witness any of it!

Yes, and I'm lucky enough to live where I do and see odd peregrine behaviour.

Do you count from the time that hard incubation occurs, TPC, in this case being after the 3rd egg was laid on April 25th? :-\

When incubation start, it may or may not be hard incubation, usually depends on the birds and the weather.  Hard incubation does usually kick in within  a couple of days of the start of incubation.

Post #154 lists off the dates and counts and Princess and Ivy got down to incubating "hard" pretty much from the start.  :)

TPC & RCF thank you for the "spot the difference" info. I also have trouble telling them apart.

I think that is Princess on the eggs now (or Ivy's feathers are being blown up to expose white feathers under that look like a 'crown') She's stuck to the eggs and picking at something in the gravel . . . .looks like she found something yummy to tide her over. (4:50pm)

Yes Jo, that is Princess showing off her "crown".  As for something yummy, they haven't been eating at the nestsite, so that is her do a bit of what we like to call "hoovering" and she does more of it closer to the end of incubation and when its warm and the eggs won't miss her if she leaves for a few minutes to hoover further afield.

If you are from outside Winnipeg, the sun is shining brightly in downtown Winnipeg. The wind is gusting from the north, but the temp is 21c - I think it looks colder than it actually is.

Okay, hatch watch countdown is beginning as today is Day 27.  Likely the eggs won't start to hatch until the weekend, but I know how everyone likes the lead up to the big day(s).

Here's the timeline as we know it ...  all eggs were laid at night so no times I'm afraid this year ...

April 21 - egg 1 laid
April 23 - egg 2 laid
April 25 - egg 3 laid & incubation began a few hours later
April 27 - egg 4 laid

May 22 - Day 27
May 25 - Day 30 = estimated start of hatching

Thanks Tracey! 8) ;D

Nest exchange, Ivy gets off and Princess replaces him on the eggs. :-*  It looked like Ivy was alarm calling before he left.  ???  You can see the light coloured feathers on Princess's head as she returns.
