I think that, not only is she hot, but she has morning sickness as well (I hope).

I am now seeing a white mark --beginning of a break in an egg -- on one of the two remaining eggs.  It was in the front of the nestbox just before 4 pm.

(This topic was started on the twitter forum -- I thought this shouldn't go there, because not a direct observation, so new topic started)

My thinking is this may happen far more often than we think.  After all, how many falcons receive this degree of observation?

Second, is this possibly an adaptation to the status of peregrines?  Still not a lot of them?  Comparable to what happens after a Bait and Shoot with deer?  The does that remain start having more sets of twins and even triplets to build the population up again.  (I have witnessed this in my woods and yard.)

In any event, it's an interesting development to watch.

I don't know exactly when it got stuck, but it appears stuck now.

I blog about the Rochester falcons occasionally at http://sporkworld.tumblr.com/ and a piece I did two days ago about egg-laying has been re-blogged, along with the links back to rfalconcam at http://cromarama.tumblr.com/ -- which is a blog from Europe.

Thought you might be interested in one way the Rochester falcons are getting around -- and hope this was the right forum to let you know.

Thought Beauty was acting like one of my Great Aunt's old hens at egg-laying time this evening.  Watched for nearly an hour.  Starting around 7:00.  Very encouraging twitches and rustlings and carrying-on.  And then Beauty left -- no egg. . .  I did note that her departure came soon after a fly-in from Archer a little after 8.

12:15 pm

Beauty has left the nest according to the multi-cam view, but not according to the Main Camera.  In the archive, it looks as if it has stayed exactly the same through at least the last three cycles, maybe longer.

This is one time when I hope I'm actually wrong. . .

I just went there and looked.  You are doing a marvelous job of making the rfalconcam accessible to a wider audience.  Thanks.
