We were very eggcited to see that Nova laid her 2nd egg very early this morning at approx 1:33 am. Her usual time between eggs is 53-54 hrs. This egg arrived 101.5 hrs after her first egg! We’ll never know why there was such a long delay. Possibly an off camera intruder? Rochester Falcon Watchers did not witness any problems.

So we welcome this new addition to our Rochester Falcon family! If she goes back on her regular schedule of 53-54 hrs, egg #3 should arrive close to 7:00 am on Saturday morning. All we can do is watch!

Nova entered the Times Square nest box a few minutes before 8:00 pm, just as the winds were starting to strengthen. A few moments later, after shimmying a bit, an egg appeared beneath her at 8:00 pm. It was an amazing sight for those lucky enough to have been viewing the Rfalconcam streaming video just at that moment.
