Great something to watch during the blah days.

A clear view of the 3 eggs. I almost thought 4-the one on the right seems to have a dark streak made it look like one behind the other. The 3rd one is just peeking up behind the front board.



Sheila giving them a nice roll!

Well, I sent them the pic and they've posted it with this note...

It does appear that Sheila has laid four eggs.

Thank you to those who emailled in photos to help confirm this.  With Sheila increasing her time in the nest box,  there has been limited opportunity to view the number of eggs.

There are a few pics posted on the Cleveland board that look more like 4 eggs than mine, but that's OK...as long as they have healthy eyases!

I haven't seen Sheila off the eggs in a few days now...I guess hard incubation has started!

FINALLY!  Sheila AND Havoc in one picture...looks like Havoc (note feather on beak) is reminding Sheila that it's HIS turn to sit on the eggs!

Funny, he reminds me of Kaver with that feather stuck to his beak. Great catch Ei.

He always has reminded me of Kaver.

For Peregrine Falcons, the incubation period is 33 to 35 days from the date the last egg was laid.  So it is now approximately halfway with hatching expected to begin around October 4 - 6.  During incubation, the eggs are rarely left uncovered; rain, hail or shine.

Not much longer!

Not much longer!

Maybe this weekend Ei.

OK...it's just the really weird light there and a really pale egg, right?

Ei, I've seen that pale egg a few times. I believe that's what it is....but....we may have to call in a expert

If it starts walking, we'll know for sure

Just saw this from Nora over on Yahoo...

One, possibly two hatches!  Go down closer to the bottom of the page.  If you click on a picture it enlarges.  Raptor Resource forum
