wonderful images
I am delighted
I shared one on RRP

Did she lay an egg on one of these dates?
We dont know, we cant SEE!
When they hatch we will know how close I was ;D - or far
Judging by behavior she will lay another egg
March 25
March 28
March 30

2020 was tough for falcons - not sure 2021 will improve

I absolutely disagree that there are 3 eggs in there. Aero I think it lifted on March 31st.
At three eggs, the falcons start incubating. Nobody's home now.

later male

The male is already leaving the house.

I watch ...

he left the house again (13;50)

So, what's our guess on the first egg? 3/31?

April 2
They have BOTH been incubating.
Its hard to see them when they are flat down.
But they do leave the egg(s) uncovered awhile, so my - guess - is - she isnt done

There will be another egg.

Thats judging by behaviors we could have 4 eggs
but we wont know til they hatch
I recorded these notable dates - we'll see
They are keeping eggs warm but not full incubation yet

7:06 local time

Mom standing in box. If clutch complete, she would be in full incubation mode...

7:09: Mom down
7:42: Mom up
9:00: Mom still up

1 maybe 2 eggs tops.

Maybe I'll get lucky and she'll go into labor!! Otherwise, almost done watching for the evening.

April 3 Holy Saturday
Isnt this their first brood?
Both act as if they have never raised young.
This is the same pair as last year - they displaced the regular pair

I have watched them. I have reasons for the dates I posted.
I am not afraid to be incorrect about that

First time falcon parents can be weird - I've seen that :biggrin:

No interest in the egg / eggs

I think he meant the prey for Aero
I noticed his behavior - he is unusual - he's kinda funny
Flash tried to FEED THE EGGS!
I have actually seen this in the past

someone was lying, after 5 min it was empty
