Oh, boy. I really hate to report this. You all know that I have been in contact with some very nice folks from Harlequin since Quest made her appearance.
I just read the newest article, and it looks like what Mark said in the article was proven correct. I truly hate to be the bearer of bad news, but at approximately 3:50 pm, Quest was seen pushing her egg off of the ledge. This is so sad, but maybe, in the long run, it's for the best. I hope that Mark is able to get the nest tray out onto the ledge tomorrow, before she attempts to lay her 2nd egg.
First time parents of any species can have a hard time and Peregrines are no exception.
I really do believe that she will continue to lay eggs and that she & Kendal will be successful. :heart
Quest lost her first egg. That is very sad!
