I have eggs. Who else has an egg?

somehow I never get used to seeing eagles, even in photos (not that I ever get to see them in the flesh).
they surprise me no end. I just find it...very...shocking...to see THAT in a tree.
Thanks!

Chris's site is up and running again. Mme. Owl now has 4 eggs as of March 19th. I saw them a bit earlier tonight, but now she's back brooding!

yeah - the brooding stage always seems so crushingly boring - but who knows if owls bore.
Two I captured today

Just walked past my other "local" - the Uptown Theater; a falcon was perched on the fire escape in G/G's usual spot - I assume it's him. Looking good, G/G, or whoever you are.

Stephanie Ware has an interesting post on her Chicago peregrine blog:

Carla - it is a special place - most particularly because of how incredibly easy it is to falconwatch there. I think the new scrape is just at a different window, so the circumstances may be very similar. As far as I know it still is on the third floor (the library only has 3).

I haven't been following much, but it seems that the falcons have relocated their nest on the library - a few weeks ago I noticed the falcons copulating on the west side of the building and wondered at the location. Anyway, they have chosen a new spot and laid at least one egg there already - the cam is supposed to be relocated by Friday - I assume it will reveal more eggs.

it would be so hard to get comfortable don't you think. Fear of cracking up the next generation.

well put, BC!

they sure do seem bored, sitting there on all those bumps...

made my entire day, and probably a MUCH longer period of time. WOW.

question - did the feature in each thread that listed who was looking at it at that moment disappear or am I misremembering something (wouldn't be the first time, that's for sure)? When we did Aafke's bird ABCs I remember I used that.

I've seen that one-eyed owl a few times too 
Between starlings, squirrels, and one-eyed owls, the nestbox is quite a scene!

Paul - wishing you a very happy birthday and a very very good year!

A couple frames from 3/8 - before Chris cleaned the grasses and things out.
I've never seen one of THESE in there while the owls were nesting! Starlings, yeah...

Chris has been having the devil's own time with the cam - what he calls a combination of bad video capture software and hardware issues. Nevertheless, he reports that *** a FOURTH EGG *** has been laid, and we will see a capture whenever Quick Time - Java and the Powers that Be see fit to allow us to see one.
