Alison:
Boreas and Nemaha's four chicks now have names.
They are Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael, and Donatello.
This article has the cute announcement of the names by Westar:

Alison:
Boreas (banded black/green R/03), born in 2007 at the Lincoln, Nebraska nest and Nemaha (banded black/red 97/H), born at the Lincoln nest in 2009, are still the resident pair at the Topeka nest, and this year they are raising four chicks.
The chicks were banded yesterday:

Alison:
I didn't realize it when I was watching Nemaha, but her bands (black/red 97/H) were just barely visible in one image, in deep shadow.
Alison:
Nemaha laid her first egg about 12:21 p.m. Topeka time:
She is a beautiful falcon.
Alison:
First egg for Topeka!
Didn't see either bird at the nest yesterday morning, and by afternoon could only get a "404 not found" for the webcam page.
This morning, there was no-one at the nest earlier. Later in the morning, one was in the nest, fairly immobile. About 20 minutes thereafter, Nemaha laid her first egg, and is now resting.
