The Rochester Falconcam is very happy to announce that Mariah laid her first egg of the 2007 season just after 8:00PM tonight! Here’s the first clear picture from the Rochester Falconcam’s infrared camera, taken at 8:23PM:
Mother and egg appear to be doing just fine! We’re all very excited to see how many eggs she’s going to lay this year. Watch for more information about Peregrine egg-laying behavior in an upcoming article.

Way to go Mariah !!!
Celebrations on both sides of the Atlantic!
had their first egg yesterday and the two pairs are pretty much in synch.
I figured it had to be soon, since the couple in Harrisburg (for those who do not know yet: http://www.dep.state.pa.us/dep/falcon/
Hi Jess,
Why isn’t she laying on it? I noticed that this morning she was outside of the box. I thought that they laid on them continously once she had them.
It sure is one of those pale ones again.
AlisonL (no relation) in Cleveland posted this picture to show the egg came already at 8:11 pm.

Good and well wishes from Orlando Falcon watchers.
Where is the picture of Mariah laying the egg?
Ft. Lauderdale area watchers also watching with great interest!!
Yahoo!!! Can’t wait for all to unveil itself this spring. My students are excited!!!
Thanks for doing this year. Cant wait for all the information have enjoyed in the past and learned so much. I guess spring is realy here.
Has Mariah’s leg which she hurt last year healed OK? It was of great concern to many of us watching her struggle with her injury.
Jess, I am really excited this year with your very informative journal of imprints. This new web site is the best ever. I was also surprised to see the News Flash addition. Love it. How could one miss not learning about the Peregrines. Keep up your great work!
I think she just laid another egg, that would be 6 if the 5th one hadn’t disappeaed.
Thanks so much for the new format!!!!! Much better — more informative and not necessary to have all the individual “chit chat.”
