I had a feeling Annette...they have had bad luck the past couple years. One of them has to be sterile, I guess. So sad. :(

I fear the male is steril.

I fear the male is steril.
I was told that as well. The female had many broods prior to this new male, he's been there 3 years now I think and no hatches since then. It's heartbreaking, last year she sat on those eggs for almost 50 days...I wish they had given them the other 3 little ones that perished at the other site last week to foster. But let's not go there.

Jackdaws ate the eggs, someone got some screenshots of it over at another falcon board that I saw. Not sure where the parents are but not a good sign if they got past them and ate their eggs.

Guess, like the crows here! I'm surprised they got past the falcon, unless she left it unattended for a while. Maybe she'll lay more eggs but with her past history, they don't hatch. :(

Surveying the damage. Poor girl.
Do falcons cry? I've seen an eagle cry when her baby died on one of the cams! I know dumb question. The eagle actually put her head up in the air and cried.

Poor girl. It's the male that is infertile from what I've read, she has had successful hatches with her previous mate. Wonder if this is the same guy? I've not heard.

Okay...don't want to jinx this..but DEF just posted a link on BCAW to this site - scroll down for Dorine's video from a little while ago.
Mom is fidgeting, flipping back and forth and suddenly an eggshell appears! Could it be??

Tell me what you think? Two years I watched this cam and this poor girl so until daylight it's hard to confirm.
