Is it too late in the season for Princess and Smiley to try again?

Is there time to re-nest, if the eggs aren't viable?

Thanks for moving the cam view TPC.  Very stressful to watch.  Would've been much worse if the chicks had hatched.  Then Princess wouldn't have budged and all would very likely be lost anyway.

TPC, thanks for switching the cam to the west nest site. What we were seeing was so very hard to watch.  :'(

Eggs can tolerate some water but I don't know for how long.
Given it is cold out there, likely not long.
Stranger things have happened but I am not hopeful.

Princess is now standing on the ledge looking at the water.

Princess is an amazing and nurturing falcon. She remains diligent and continues to persevere.

Now all 4 eggs are floating around.  TPC - what are the chances of having hatching now?  I am so sad for Princess and Smiley  :'(

I now see three eggs away from Princess in the water.  She is looking restless, as if almost standing up and frequently shaking her head.  How wet and cold will she let herself get?

I was just looking at the the cam and it does appear there is at least one egg floating around.  :'( I hope I am wrong as it is very hard to see.  Keeping everything crossed that all will be well.

Very upsetting to see how quickly the situation has become so very bad.
