Probably none of the eggs are viable. They just want to get the parent hormones flowing so they can give them a hatchling or two.
That was my thought, but there had been some chatter about the peregrine egg hatching at some point so I was a bit confused. |

This weekend the falcon pair nesting atop 101 Hudson St. in Jersey City received two additional donor eggs from Zoologist Kathy Clark, with the Endangered and Nongame Species Program. This time they were brown chicken eggs. After placing the one egg in the nest last week we learned from the experts at The Peregrine Fund that the pair needed a full clutch to begin incubating. The pair have been incubating ever since! Now we can make plans to foster 1-2 nestlings into the nest in several weeks. Most likely we'll look to collect young from a bridge nest site where the fledging rates are low (many young fall onto roadways or into open water and do not survive). This will give them a better chance of fledging.  From fb So...the peregrine egg...I'm guessing it isn't a viable egg? |

Hmmm...MAK's morning watch report shows (with a photo) that Beauty poohed again at around 7 AM, and it was "lengthy." I hope it was just something she ate yesterday.
She was pretty stuffed when she settled for the night last night. She sure was...quite a neck pillow! Good to hear! And she also started her overnight shift early. Dot had been there for 3+ hours when she came back at 5:05. Then she was in for the night.  |
