  Kate's blog

It’s very cold this morning:  14 degrees at the airport, 21 degrees in my city backyard.  Assuming the Cathedral of Learning is just as warm as my backyard (1.5 miles away), the temperature at the nest has been below freezing since 8:00pm last night.

For whatever reason, Dorothy stopped sheltering her egg around 9:30pm.

Peregrine falcons don’t begin incubation until they’ve laid their next to last egg in the clutch.  However, they do shelter the eggs to keep them from freezing.  In her younger years Dorothy would have been on top of the egg in weather like this, not merely standing over it, and it would look like she’s incubating.  But she’s not.

The egg is certainly frozen and will never hatch.

This spring Dorothy is 15 years old, retirement age for wild peregrines.  She has a reason for not protecting this egg.  I don’t know what it is.   Sad

She had a hard time laying the egg, we watched her laboring and it was honestly the toughest time I've seen a female trying to lay an egg have on cam.  The only exception to that was at Cobb last year where the female died as she was egg-bound.

Yesterday and Saturday we watched all day as she tried again to lay another egg and no go.  She was exhausted last night.

I was watching plus reading posts about her difficulty in egg-laying.  Sweet Dorothy.  heart

Dorothy must know it's time to retire and take it easy. She has contributed her fair share to the population of Peregrines out there. Thank you for Beauty dear Dorothy!  heart heart

CORRECTION to my blog this morning about the frozen egg. Yes it was frozen but it might be viable. It wasn't incubated yet so who knows. Might hatch.  Kate
