From the Falconcam Project website:

27th August saw the arrival of the first new egg

2nd Sept saw the completion of this season’s laying with a total of 3 eggs, and roughly the commencement of dedicated incubation by both Beau and Swift.

6th Sept unfortunately saw the destruction of the 3rd egg, which was cleaned up by Swift shortly afterwards

28 Sept saw another egg crushed and it appears the cuplrit has again been Beau in a clumsy attempt at helping out; we’re hanging on to this last egg now (figuratively!) in the hope that it hatches. Approximate incubation period for these peregrines averages between 29 and 33 days, so any time from now on we’re hoping for some good news up the tower.

Thanks for clarifying what happened to the eggs, Patsy.  All the info I had posted was from what I had read on BCAW.

 

What's going on here?? When did she eat the 1st one?? Wonder how they know? Hope the 3rd is viable!  

Around 9/6, they pushed the egg aside and didn't incubate it anymore then it just disappeared.  No answer for what they did with it.

Video of Swift eating the egg.

Swift ate one of the remaining 2 eggs today-only one left.   

June has been KILLED!!!     Crap!!

 Beginning to think the worst, Sue drove to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Office in Tower, MN, where she found the telemetry signal from June’s radio-collar coming from the building.

June was Lily's mother and 2 cubs born to June this year are now orphans and the researchers don't know where they are.  That's 2 research bears shot and killed this year plus Aster's been wounded and is struggling. DNR forbids Dr. Rogers from helping Aster in any way. There are only 5 research bears left and once one is killed, Dr. Rogers can't place the collar on another bear.  My feelings-the hunters won't rest until they're all dead.

Nice pics and videos, MAK! I'm glad that you and Joyce had a good birding day together!   

   

                            everyone!

So it's not me!  I was looking for it and thought maybe it was under something else!  Are we doing this again this year?

I didn't find it either when I looked.  I assume we would be participating but it's up to GVAS, I would guess.

I emailed Lisa about re-registering Rfalconcam Friday night.

It's nice to hear that you got to Rochester after all those years, met some watchers and got to see Beauty.  Glad you enjoyed your day!

 

                                               Happy birthday, Dana!
