Maybe they are waiting for a fourth egg. Tracey explained about the timing in this process, last year. The first eggs wait for all to be laid, then the parents sit and incubate them. You can probably find these facts in last year's threads.

Glad to see they are on top of the eggs now....I was a bit concerned when the one egg seemed to be sitting there all alone and uncovered!

There's 3 eggs now!  And dad is working hard to get them all covered.

Cammie, I checked this morning first thing on this wonderful site; mom and dad were both gone for a bite to eat and some exercise, and there were still only two eggs.

Anyone know if there is still just two eggs?  Every time I check in, mom (?) is incubating so I haven't seen the eggs since early yesterday.

Dad just brought in breakfast for mom, who was sure happy to see him.  She yanked it out of his beak and took off.  He looked somewhat sorry to see that tasty treat go, although it was all for a good cause.

Okay, maybe I'm not losing my mind. Picture came back, while I watched falcon flew off and I could hear them in the background. It's the sound of the powerplant that's missing! The sound is actually still there. And Mom is back on the eggs.

Just checked the site, had a picture of one falcon and two eggs. Then the picture disappeared, screen went black. Not sure if that was because I just upset a stack of papers onto the keyboard or not. But no sound. and there had been sound up until this week. I might think it was the speakers, but they work for other things. The computer went down for a while yesterday, maybe that has something to do with the picture problem, nothing else has changed.

Hi Sami, I'm watching the cam and see lights moving, though mom is immobile.  No sound though.  Have you got pop ups unblocked on your browser?

First the sound disappeared, now I can't get a picture. Anyone else having any problems with this site?

They just changed the view again, back to the inside of the nestbox.  So, the eggs are now clearly visible.
