Welcome, little one!

Looks like DC checked in real early 2:28 am
There he iseggs still in tactB back at 3:28 am

Looks to me like Dot stayed from 2:29 to 6:23.

Straining my memory here. Wasn't the signal in the M&K days that hatch was imminent when Kaver came in and sat during the night?

It's funny..I checked things around 3 AM and someone on streaming chat said B was talking to someone.  I thought maybe she was talking to herself or the eggs..didn't know DC was there and she was probably talking to him.   

2nd hatch (actually 3rd) happened during night!

April 23, 2016: It’s a mystery
It’s been almost a week since Egg Number One appeared in the nest, thanks to 41/AX. Both adults were seen on camera on that day (Sunday, April 17), and the female spent a lot of time incubating and brooding in the first two days. According to peregrine falcon biology, she should have laid Egg 2 on Tuesday, and Egg 3 on Thursday, but none of that has happened. We don’t know why, but disruptions in the laying and incubating processes are usually the result of a shake-up in the pair. For example, if an intruding male or female challenges the pair for their territory, it could lead to injuries from fighting or colliding with structures. If such a fight occurred and the male (who was unbanded and therefore we don’t know his individual identity) lost, the winning male would take over the territory but might not help with the current nesting.
We do not know if this has happened in Jersey City, but the pair has been seen on camera only sporadically (Sunday, Wednesday, Friday). The female has not laid any more eggs nor taken care of the Egg 1; therefore the first and only egg is probably not viable anymore. Furthermore, we don’t know if there is a new male and, if so, they have some bonding to do before trying again. It’s a mystery for now, but we are still hoping for a positive outcome this season.

April 29: Moving On
With high hopes of salvaging this nesting season, today Kathy Clark visited 101 Hudson St. and removed the lone egg from the nestbox. We could tell that 41/AX would no longer incubate it after allowing it to sit there for some time. It is still a mystery as to telling what happened to the old unbanded male. But, there is a new male hanging around. Removing the egg will allow her to move on and accept the new male as her new mate. It will be interesting to see what plays out in the next couple weeks.

Matrix over at BCAW pulled some archive photos and Spirit is injured.  Eggs were uncovered for quite awhile again this morning.  I hope she survives this, the intruder seems determined given how many days this has been going on.

E7 is flying well..E8 has branched but still hasn't flown yet. Nice video of both!

Apparently every time an egg hatches, she is pulling it away from the others and chaos ensues.  Thankfully the male took over when the first egg hatched this morning...cripes...

She isn't a first-time mom, is she?  I thought I read she's from another nest.  She is crazy-been following events on BCAW.

An E2 baby...isn't nature wonderful.   

         It sure is!  It's also great how Hope needed a mate and Terzo stepped right into the role so well! 

No one has been on eggs for quite awhile now again 

Oh dear..not good.

Carly..any news about Jack?

He and mom are on eggs, no one knows how many as usual. *sigh*

Well, at least he's still there..thanks.

Carly..any news about Jack?

First hatch for O'Connor and Lucky, could be two but she barely let me peek...or it's a gigantor baby! 

           

Problems in Montreal too... intruders since some days. Eole has been injured at his back. We can see blood on his feathers. He is ok for now.

On FB, there was a picture of Spirit with an apparent injury to her cere a few days ago.  Wasn't there speculation that Arthurin had possibly returned?  I know there's been a female intruder reported.

3rd egg has hatched!
