It seems like our falcon parents have been sitting on these eggs forever - they must be due to be hatched any day now.

The eggs won't come to harm being left uncovered during the incubation period.  Depending on the weather of course.  If its warm and sunny on the eggs, we have had females here leave them uncovered (they were nearby) for close to an hour and the chicks were fine when they hatched, and all of them did hatch.  At this time of year, wet/damp and cooler, a few minutes isn't particularly dangerous.

Something going on here.  Scout was napping on the eggs and Orville preening on the ledge in front of the ledgecam.  Orville started kaking and took off after something.  Scout came out of the nestbox to see what was going on and took off too, leaving the eggs  :o

O.K. They are back, both cleaning their beaks.  And now Orville is taking a shift on the eggs.  Whew!

That's why I made the comment about how Orville reminded me of Trey  :D
Trey would do such a great job housekeeping while he was incubating, he would come off the eggs several times ::)  I noticed Orville did the exact same thing..... 8)

Must be a guy thing!
:) Both males and females pick up pieces of gravel while incubating - I watched Mariah at Rochester do this for years.

They are nest-making  :D

They will continue to do this during incubation and brooding after the chicks hatch.  Trey has been known to get so involved in "housekeeping" that he wanders off the eggs/chicks he's suppose to be incubating/brooding.

I noticed that he also likes to nibble or move pebbles/gravel around kinda like what Trey does as well.  It's quite amusing to watch actually... :D

The cam definitely has problems . . . here is a pic of the four eggs I caught a few minutes ago. Orville is incubating at the moment. He's such an elegant little tiercel.
