Woohoo..go Radisson go!! 

Usually you count approximately 30 days from the start of hard incubation of the penultimate egg - usually the third egg laid but depends on how many they lay I believe...if it's 5 then I think 4 would the penultimate??  TPC??

She was trying so hard yesterday between 17:00  and 23:00  and I thought she would have it wither really late last night or early this morning . Because she has been incubating I think early this morning abut it would be fitting if it had been on Mothers Day
So TPC , First hatch earliest  around June10????Not sure how you figure that out properly.

We had a nice afternoon yesterday and it is to be warm tonight and then the cold rain, and snow set in again.

They have been sharing the incubation duties and are not off them that long from what I have observed.

Are we in serious incubation now?  I went online early this afternoon and didn't see any falcon for awhile so wasn't sure if perhaps we were gonna get one more egg?

Even if there is another egg on the way, hard incubation should be started by now - she has three eggs.  Don't know what the temperatures are like right now in Edmonton, I know that if its warm/sunny & warm in the box, adults will spend time off the eggs.  Madame, Trey's Mom, used to get off for up to 1 hours on hot sunny days.  She'd sit on the edge of the box, inches away from the eggs all the time.

I still think there is one more to come, by her actions, but that is me.

I've had a chance to re-read, TPC.  You're right -- three eggs are amazing, and this is only her second year.  To want her to take care of four is selfish.  She was so cute with one last year, I can't wait to see her with more than one, and prob three is more than she needs!   :D
