Nova Laid Her First Egg of 2024! 3/20/24

On this first full day of Spring, Rochester is under a Winter Weather Advisory. The temperature is 27 degrees (F). The winds are gusting at 40 mph and the snow is flying!

That did not stop Nova from laying her and Neander’s first egg of 2024 at approx 7:31 pm!

Many thanks to Rochester Falcon Watcher Linda for letting us know!

   Ach, timing is everything, Nova…

   Is this the earliest egg in Rochester? Last year, for the first time, Roc beat Harrisburg for the first egg, however this year they got their first on St. Patrick’s Day and their second two days later – right on time for the start of Spring.

   March 20th is the earliest date I have on record, but my records only go back to 2007. I can’t speak for 1998-2006.
