GCG:
I'm certain there are four eggs now.

Alison:
Thank you for the information, gemcitygemini! I liked your comments about the "blizzard".  :)

So you think we still have Daniel and Dayton at the nest? I hope so. There really is no way to see bands on the cam.

I found both at home with the three eggs on March 24:



Today I could not catch a glimpse of the eggs; the birds were not moving. There could be four eggs by now.

GCG:
We have a third egg in the nest! A third egg was discovered in the nest during the afternoon of March 23. Last night it snowed and in the image below snow can be seen in the nest box. The female sits tightly on her eggs to keep them warm. It has snowed before during incubation and should not cause any harm to the eggs.


This was posted on the Boonshoft blog. Yes, they had snow too! Not as much as here. But if you heard my relatives complaining on FB, you would think theirs was a blizzard.  ??? The falcons are nesting in a very high building in downtown Dayton. The male, Daniel is banded. The female not banded is Dayton!

GCG:
Thanks Alison  ;) for the wonderful photos. As of yesterday, there is still only two eggs.

Alison:
Had to wait for a while to see the eggs:

 

Two eggs!
