Uggg..I saw this on your site earlier today Alison and my heart just went out to these poor falcons.  All this work to lay 4 eggs and it will probably end in heartbreak for them.  IF they can't do anything at this point, there may be a chance to fix it before a second clutch attempt maybe?

Kudos to you for asking TPC for help, she probably has connections somewhere there or knows someone that does.  You are a true friend to the falcons  :)

Alison:
2009 NESTING SEASON

I don't have a clue where to post this, but I'd like to ask TPC about some problems with a nest in Maine. The cam is a new one this year; the nest tray was installed last year by Maine Inland Fisheries and Wildlife. The nest has failed for the past two years. The tray provided has a very shallow area for gravel. A number of people have been contacting/e-mailing those responsible for this nest to request that they at least provide more gravel, but nothing has been done.

Now the female has laid four eggs, and is finding it impossible to keep them under her. I realize that at this stage there is probably very little that can be done, but would like to ask if there is any way at all to improve this situation. Perhaps their biologists might listen to another biologist.

The link to the site is:  http://www.briloon.org/watching-wildlife/peregrine-cam.php

This is what the nest looks like:

 

 



Any help or advice on this would be much appreciated.
