Those 5 critters are pretty funny at this stage!!  The general effect is of Brownian motion consisting mostly of falling down without standing up first. Every time I see it I can’t understand it: an owlet is already completely down, and it falls anyway.

An unusually orderly moment:

 

Terrible fight in the nest. Belle fought off an interloper - eggs scattered - Allen came back after they had flown off - tried to gather back the eggs - waiting for more developments. (Holy Toledo)

It's bloody! 

  Not good! At all!

Oh no!  I hate fights, especially in NB's with eggs!

SGB reports 4 eggs for Rhea Mae & Tiago (with pics) on BCAW!

        

Finally, a falcon DC

Poor DC is chomping at the bit for an egg and B isn't delivering the goods.  No wonder he needed two mates...he's hyper!   

SGB just posted #3 is here!

I'm so happy for Hunter! Good news, thanks!

Hunter possibly can be a infertile male. He had no offspring with Ranger.
At nest site Eemsmond was also a couple years a pair with no eyasses. 

I was thinking the same thing, Annette.  While I'm happy for Hunter, that he's found another mate, he might be the infertile one so time will tell.

     

               

oh, dear.

First Egg of 2014!
It looks as if Quest and Skye are officially a couple. Quest laid her first egg of 2014 on Wednesday, April 2nd at 2:49 pm. Typically, a Peregrine falcon lays eggs every 48 hours and can lay as many as six. Last year Quest and Kendal had four eggs, which all hatched, so we can likely expect a few more. Six-year-old Quest is an experienced parent—she had her first hatchling, Harlequin, in 2011—but this is a three-year-old Skye’s first crack at fatherhood. Hopefully, he proves to be as capable a provider as Kendal.

Speaking of Kendal, everyone will remember that he was injured in a severe storm last July. After initially being cared for by the Canadian Wildlife Centre and Canadian Peregrine Foundation, Kendal is still working his way back from a fractured coracoid that prevents him from fully extending his wing at the Owl Foundation—a registered Canadian charitable organization in the Niagara Peninsula near St. Catherines, Ontario. We’ll share news on Kendal as we receive it.

In the meantime, stay tuned for more eggs, more news and more excitement….

Harlequin encourages anyone who wishes to learn more about peregrines, pledge support or discover what they can do to help this threatened species to visit the Canadian Peregrine Foundation at www.peregrine-foundation.ca

Second egg for Rhea Mae &Tiago! Can't copy the pic over...at the car place on my kindle...

 

She acts like she's on high alert and doesn't want to be trapped in the box.  Wonder if Pigott or another female is around... by watching both of them here, they seem to be seeing something "out there". She hasn't been spending much time, like in previous, years at the nest box and I wonder if this is throwing a wrench in the egg laying. She just acts strange to me.
