I was chatting with Tracy from CPF last night about Beauty and she suggested that she might be in what's called egg lethargy and to keep an eye on her. Like we haven't all been keeping our eyes on the Beautyful one! Anyway here's a description of it.

LETHARGY Just before and during the period of egg laying (approximately eight days for four eggs) the female becomes lethargic. She can look "dumpy", including fluffed-up feathers while perched, hanging her vent feathers (the feathers in front of the cloaca, underneath the tail) to an unusual degree, leaning slightly forward while perched, waddling when walking, dozing with one or both eyes closed for long periods, and generally remaining near the nest and being inactive. She might also spend considerable amounts of time in the nest by herself. After laying an egg, she may have periods of being more active, but lethargy is a general demeanor to note. Those without much previous experience with Peregrines should be aware it is comparative and subjective.

How do the crabs keep up their population if their eggs get devoured so much?  confused
