There are only two eggs left, she ate the third one this evening.

Fourth egg (April 9) would have been penultimate egg but given that she usually has 4 not 5, I estimated that incubation started April 8 just to be safe particularly given the changeable weather Lincoln has had this spring. That would make tomorrow (May 8) 30 days, so I would expect hatching to start in the next 4 days given the experience this pair has. Just an estimate of course, only one who really knows when they'll hatch is Alley. ;)

The Peregrine Chick:
Haven't heard anything so I assume Alley & 19/K are still incubating the 5 eggs laid ... anyone heard differently?
The weather in Lincoln looks uncomfortable for whomever is incubating at the moment - they are right out at the far end of the nestbox and it looks windy. whoever it is, is tucked down as flat on the gravel as possible to stay out of the wind. Remember Trey and Ivy on the nestledge when it was windy, that's what this bird looks like. Hopefully the weather will improve and give him/her a break.
At my count, we are just a little past mid-way through incubation here.
RCF:
Five eggs this morning!!! :o
