...shift change, and still 4 eggs....
jadoo:
..been keeping an eye on this site, their post says they were expecting a hatch starting May24-26 - it's now the
27th, and although I haven't had a glimpse under the falcon yet this morning, as of 10:00 last night there were still 4 eggs, no chicks yet, but it should be anytime now...
jadoo:
...took a peek at this site just now; you can see the falcon tightly covering her eggs, snoozing, and you can see people wandering around far below, and you have to wonder if any of them ever think that there is all this wildlife around them, that they can't see... 8)

...had a chance to watch this site for a little while today - after watching Durand and Flyboy in Columbus, it is a relief to watch an experienced pair of parents...smooth transfer of incubation duties, male coming in and letting the female know her lunch was now available, a bit of chatter between the two, then an unhurried female carefully gets off the eggs and heads out to eat, while the male takes her place on the eggs, with plenty of the requisite "shuggling" to get all the eggs settled...at one point, as a matter of fact, the male showed up, chattered at the female for a bit, but i guess she wasn't hungry yet, so he waited around for a bit, and then headed out again...like a well oiled machine, these two... ;D
jadoo:
...aaaand egg #4 - incubation has definitely started.. 8)
