Beauty Lays Egg #2 at 8:19 am – Saturday, May 19th – 5/19/12
Well, well, well. Who would have thought that we’d be posting this update so late in May. But, that’s just the kind of year we are having here in Rochester, NY. This morning at approximately 8:19 am, Beauty laid her second egg.
Dot.ca was at the Times Square Bldg most of the day. In fact, he brought at least two meals to Beauty this afternoon and took his turn watching over the eggs. For over two hours, he stood with his wings slight open in the hot sun, protecting the eggs from the direct sunlight.
Also, before laying her 2nd egg Beauty put the old egg, laid by Unity, underneath her. We are certainly no experts, but it is believed that this egg would not be viable after all this time. But, it is very interesting that she and Dot.ca are now treating it like one of their own eggs. This egg was laid while Unity and Archer were together at the Times Square Bldg and is much lighter in color than the two eggs Beauty has recently laid.
This evening, Watchers witnessed Beauty and Dot.ca copulating on the SW corner of the Wilder Bldg. So, will Beauty lay a third egg? Be sure to stay tuned and keep watching.
