I think I see two eggs

I agree, she did look a little restless today for some reason..maybe egg # 2 today???

I've been watching Scout this afternoon, she seems so restless. She can't sit still for a minute or more. I thought for a moment I saw two eggs but I think it's still just the one.

Scout was on the egg but Orville just arrived, they did some yapping to each other and then Orville took over. At least it's one egg from what I could see anyway.

Scout and Orville won't start incubating until egg 3 then you will need to have sharp eyes to catch a glimpse of the eggs including any laid after number 3.  So, 48 hours between 1 and 2 and probably 2 and 3 so look for incubating to begin about Tuesday-ish.

And the yakking movement (keep in mind I haven't seen it) might be her about to cough up a pellet rather than laying an egg.

okay thats very funny.  Birdy naughty!  Haven't thought of it that way before.  But cool when out of the blue there it is - they're doing it.  Makes me curious now whether or not she is due to lay an egg today and they still mate anyway??  Also caught the Ostrich's at the Netherlands cam the other day.  Much more graceful.

Anyway, I've been following the posts for the last year and some so I'm aware of what kind of nuts you all can be.  And as for Carly and her flowing robes - go to it hon! 

Oh and thankyou for the kind welcome.

come on irenekl, join in.. don't be shy, heck you are watching birdy naughty,, and commenting on it... how shy can you be?  lol

jump right in, the water is warm, the company crazy, and the closets are dark.. And if none of that makes sense, you'll have to do some reading up on past posts... 

oh and watch out for Carly, she wears long flowing robes and dances to the weather Gods..  sometimes it even works.

Happy Spring to all my fellow Peregrine watchers.  I've been feeling a little shy about joining in but will put my 2 cents worth starting here today.  I observed Scout & Orville mating at 8:46 this morning.  Just prior to that Orville was in the nestbox hovering over the egg just as you describe Scout has been doing.  At first I thought he was Scout in labor but then he jumped out and promptly mated with Scout who was sitting on the ledge.

You're probably right eagle, she kept doing that for hours before she laid the first one.  Kept crouching down and pushing and then she'd get up and go outisde, come back in, etc..  Peregrine labour

Right now the falcon is standing over the egg. She's been yaking at times too. Sometimes she looks like she's going incubate but doesn't totally go down.  I am wondering if there is going to be another egg laying in the near future? I guess not she just went out to the landing.

First day of spring and first egg - how appropriate. Now, let the games begin - it's been a long cold winter and a long anticipated return of the falcons. Looking forward to happy, happy times.

I spent half an hour yesterday watching Scout in the nest, then had to go, so I missed the big event.  I see her in the nest this morning, and the poor thing looks pretty tired; I am sure it takes alot of energy to lay eggs.  Anyway, Orville is struting around outside on the ledge, fluffing up his feathers, looking for all the world like a proud father.  I will now watch for a second egg - I hope I get to see this.

Good News.  Yes, an egg  I just saw that.  I am sure that Scout spent the night in the nestbox as she was there when it was getting dark and then at dawn.  She was out on the ledge later in front of the ledge cam with a big bulge under her tail.  Orville brought her breakfast (pretty gruesome closeup in front of the camera) and maybe that did the trick. I missed the actual moment the egg arrived too as I can't stand to watch that strobbing.

Yup ...it's an egg...woot!
