I thought there might be an egg; when he left, she stayed in the nest.





First glimpse:

Just caught a glimpse of the first egg at Buffalo. Pics to come.

Great pic of the egg, Dumpsterkitty!

This evening:

It's great to see Quest and Kendal with their first egg! This evening, Kendal brought Quest a meal:

Here is a photo of Rhea:



And a photo of Mae:



It was nine years ago today that we lost Mae; she is not forgotten.

And today her last daughter, Speedy (born in 2003) laid her second egg. She is at the Wells Fargo nest in Bloomington, Minnesota. She is a beauty, just like her mother.

Well said, Carol P., and so true!

A few pics from today, showing the three eggs. There was snow in the nest this morning, but most of it had melted by the afternoon.

Both visited the nest today:

Yes, Dorothy and E2 have a fifth egg!

Since the cams have been down a few times lately, I haven't seen much activity at the nest, but I just caught a fleeting visit.

The nest was empty, until suddenly there were two:





The female took off towards the left:



Yankee followed in the same direction.

Just watched your video, MAK. Very interesting to see DC swooping; still not sure exactly why he is doing this to Beauty.

Many thanks to you, and all the other watchers, for spending your time keeping an eye on all the peregrines. You are all the best watchers anywhere!

Four eggs now for Niecey and Lil Dad! Saved this pic at 5:18 p.m. EST.

Incubating:

Both were in the nest box briefly:

Yankee and the new, unbanded female both visited the nest box today:
