First brooding chart of the season!

**note the cams were out 4/4 and 4/5

WOO HOO!!!  Hope you walked quickly!

Okay I"m home, both Aria and Lucky are okay.  I got a photo of the injured falcon, it might be a kid from last year.   You can see a bloody feather on it's chest and blood on the leg...it seemed at home and kept landing on all the ledges.  I looked everywhere to make sure no one was grounded.  Aria just wouldn't stop yelling..holy moly - if there's a fire I want her as my alarm!

**I did lighten the photo to see that it is banded so that's throwin the color off but the bird has a lot of brownish plumage unlike jet black Aria and Dark Lucky.  I think it's male now upon calming down and looking at the photo.  AT the time I took it, I just ran as I heard the yelling from inside the office.

Definitely a first year bird. The only adult I've ever seen who still has the light feather "crown" on the back of their head is Quest.

Thanks for being there!

done

I always smile when I open the cam to see Dot.ca on the eggs.

 

And we pick up right where we left off!

After doing some digging, I think  this is when #4 arrived

(movie)

Good catch! That certainly does look like the egg laying dance!

Funny when ever I checked I saw no eggs even though photos show up on various sites of eggs.   

I read somewhere they are behind the camera a bit. I thought they moved the camera to capture them. I haven't been there personally yet

   

Yippee!

Wish I lived closer and could join you! You will be missed!

Egg #2 has arrived!

The first egg always looks so lonely

Poo spot from the other direction. Might even have a feather stuck to it as well.

Is it just me, or is that egg damaged?  Looked a little flat on top from both angles.

It looks like poo. I ran back in the archive to when that side was facing the other way and it's more apparent that's what it is.

But thanks for pointing that out!
