I am so happy to see Beauty with her first egg. She is one gorgeous falcon, and DC is a very handsome tiercel.

I really enjoyed seeing all the pics posted today.

A little egg time. I wonder what triggers the urge to get back on the egg for however long before hard incubation starts?

This is where DC brought Beauty the food. He was hesitant to give it up but he did and she is now enjoying her meal.  heart  (This is DC)

Kate St John has a nice description about hormones and incubating here:

http://www.wqed.org/birdblog/category/nesting/

How do birds instantly switch gears from the frantic activity of courtship to sitting on eggs all the time?

On the day before incubation begins the hormones switch. Prolactin, the hormone that promotes incubation behavior, rises sharply while the other hormones suddenly decrease. In females, LH and progesterone drop off. In males, testosterone has been dropping since egg laying began. If the male shares incubation he has a sharp rise in prolactin, too. On a graph this hormone switch looks like a sine curve. There’s a moment where all these hormones are low, then prolactin takes off.
