Early this morning, at approximately 4:37 am, Beauty laid her 4th egg! There were a few people on line to witness the event, but it was too dark to tell exactly when she laid it. A couple hours later, there was a changing of the guard, when Dot.ca arrived for his first look at his four eggs. Finally, just a few moments ago, he got up so that we had our first good look at all four! Congratulations Beauty and Dot.ca!

It is a windy and rainy day here in Rochester, NY. But that didn’t stop Beauty from laying her 3rd egg at approximately 4:55 pm this afternoon. Lots of falcon fans were on hand to witness the new arrival. She has been averaging about 57-58 hours between eggs. So if she lays a 4th egg, it will probably be sometime early Thursday morning. We’ll be watching!

Egg #2 arrived early this morning around 8:17 am. It’s a sunny, but bitter cold morning in the 20’s (F).

Here were our first glimpses of the arrival of #2!

There were many falcon fans gathered to watch our live streaming video this evening. What was all the eggcitement about? Beauty, our downtown Rochester Peregrine Falcon was in the process of laying her first egg. It was like a virtual waiting room.

At 9:54 pm, Beauty laid her egg in the nest box on top of the Times Square Bldg in Rochester, NY. The falcons had been visiting this nest box and the nest box at the Powers Building. So until tonight, we were unsure which nest box they would choose.

Here are the first images of the egg captured by our Rfalconcam cameras.

Please join us tonight in the observance of Earth Hour.

Rfalconcam will turn off the cameras at the nest boxes located on the Times Square and Powers buildings for one hour starting at 8:30 PM EDT. During that time, we ask that you turn off your lights, computers, and non-essential electrical appliances.
