do peregrines ever have a second clutch in the same breeding season? just thinking of the
san marcos barn owls who had 2 clutches last year----but quest is young there is this one
and next year, too

Yes, but it's a very rare occurrence.  The loss of eggs would have to be very shortly after laying for re-cycling to happen.

I was wondering the same thing.  Ei - many of our song birds go on to have  a second or even third clutch during the breeding season.  Why is it that the falcons do not have a second or third?  Is it due to the length of the  incubation/fledging time?   I 'm curious now.

You are correct-it takes a long time to incubate & fledge peregrines.  By the time they're on their own it's too late for another clutch.  And it takes a lot out of the parents.  They need to recoup in the off season.

Just noticed on the streaming cam 3-the weird light the other day appears to be something stuck on the cam

If I was a betting person, I'd guess the egg was damaged by the concrete when it was laid & finally broke & was removed.  Just my opinion.

Phooey!  Well, one will be enough...let's hope it hatches OK...

[!!! Sheraton Hatch?]

!!! Sheraton Hatch?
April 30, 2011 - Toronto - Sheraton Centre
Linda Woods Reports:

Yesterday Zoe, captured an image from the web cam with evidence that we may have had a hatch.

Small fluffs of down can be seen in the image. I visited the nest site this morning with a quick look through the view port. Only a few fluffs of down remain, and what appears to be small fragments of egg shell. Keep checking the web camera and perhaps someone will witness food come to the nest tray.

Been watching all day & I didn't see a thing...

Beauty looking quite comfortable.
Archer right outside. Just for a sec, then he left.

I have the stream going-he was whining to get in...she was chupping hunt up some dinner then we'll talk!

and then you have this guy! 

Not an Icanhaz but how does this hat stay on???? Another GLUED???



and what the heck are these?

The Yorks were, well, bizarre is putting it kindly, but this one was truly beyond atrocious, IMHO...

Quest in front of the falls by Jill (Church?  I think)

Anybody know where I can find a picture of Mariah in about that pose I want to compare Quest to her Momma.

The first one that comes to mind is this one by Jim Pisello from banding day 2008...
