As the storms passed through Rochester, NY this evening, a small eyas (baby falcon) was hard at work. Beauty and Dot.ca were taking turns incubating and protecting their four eggs from the torrential rain and wind. Soon after it stopped raining, a young falcon arrived, breaking out of its egg at about 8:10 pm.

Here you can see part of the egg shell in front of Beauty.

We got a quick glimpse of all four eggs as Dot.ca left the nest box and Beauty took over. Two other eggs have pips (small holes) in them. So we’ll have more hatches soon!

Make sure to keep watching the cameras, and check out our live streaming video!
