This egg was joined by 3 others by March 23rd this year and it looks like the first one has a hole in it today. Bring on the fluffy white explosion!

Mom just left to get some food for the little ones but she tipped the one on the right onto its back when she left. It looked like a fluffy turtle on its back kicking its legs. Mom fed them, mostly the one on the left, who promptly collapsed onto its sibling. The one on the right got flipped back over when Mom returned from stashing the leftovers.

We've seen that happen here a couple times with Beauty and her babies. She even tried to feed the Eyas one year while it was on its back!

Someone caught this photo and posted it on Twitter this morning. The 4th eyas was observing the feeding from the safety of its egg. All 4 should be present and accounted for this morning.

Post by: pawsnclaws17 on 24-Apr-15, 01:59:35 PM
I finally got a picture of the 4th egg but it doesn't look like much progress has been made. Mom has been busy brooding and pushing the little ones back under her most of the day. It's amazing how gentle they can be with their sharp beaks.

Post by: pawsnclaws17 on 25-Apr-15, 08:08:28 AM
I just checked the website and the hole in the 4th egg is bigger but I didn't see any movement. Mom is still brooding it but I'm starting to think that it won't fully hatch.

I saw the egg last night..doesn't look good for the baby. :(

The last hatch was on April 23rd and the remaining egg has a huge hole in it. I just checked and Mom is still brooding the egg. I assume at some point she will give up and concentrate on the 3 babies that hatched.

According to Twitter they will be banding the eyases on May 21 between 1 and 2 PM. They certainly are getting big!
Title: Re: Harrisburg, PA Falcon cam 2014
Post by: pawsnclaws17 on 21-May-15, 01:22:43 PM
Banding happening now. Three females. They are evacuating for a fire alarm (which is just barely louder than the eyas they're banding. To be continued......
Title: Re: Harrisburg, PA Falcon cam 2014
Post by: pawsnclaws17 on 21-May-15, 01:29:38 PM
Not a fire alarm after all. They said the eyas set off the alarm so they are banding #3 now.

They said the alarm calls of the 2nd eyas while it was being banded set off the alarm system in the building. They turned it off but it happened again when they started on the 3rd eyas. They wasted no time in turning it off that time. I haven't seen any names yet but they were banded red, white and blue.

They don't name their Falcons..just call them by their band colors..Red Girl, White Girl and Blue Girl.

Just checked the website and the blue tape female has made it back to the ledge with her siblings. I wonder how far it is from the roof to the ledge?

I just looked at the Harrisburg website and there's no mention of this. I was hoping she'd have better luck after her rescue. They did say that the white tape female fledged today and successfully reached the Capitol Building. Hopefully red tape girl will fledge successfully soon.

According to their Twitter posts white tape girl is flying well and red tape girl was rescued and put back on the roof in good shape. Now if they can just keep those pesky buildings out of their way they'll be fine.
