We were very happily surprised by the arrival of our 4th eyas at 7:55 am Sunday morning. There were many fans on our streaming video who were able to witness Beauty helping the last eyas to hatch.

Beauty and Dot.ca now have a full nest box. It’s going to be so much fun watching them raise their little family.

Hope you’re all able to join us!!!

Sometimes it’s really hard to tell when a hatch occurs. Beauty is really good at covering her young ones and keeping them warm. A big clue is when a shell pops out from underneath her. This happened at approximately 1:40 pm.

Thankfully, our cameras were able to catch the hatch happening at 1:23 pm.

It wasn’t long before Dot.ca brought in food and both he and Beauty fed the two older eyases. The newly hatched eyas was a little too young for its first meal.

Hopefully the 4th egg will hatch soon. Be sure to keep watching!

On line watchers witnessed a half shell pop out from under Beauty around 9:12 pm last night. It wasn’t until 11:19 pm that we had a good view of the 2nd eyas.

Early this morning we had some wonderful views of both eyases during a tandem feeding by Beauty and Dot.ca!

Sometime today, we should have a 3rd hatch and hopefully, soon after that, a 4th.

Stay tuned to our streaming video to watch for the new arrivals!

Happy first day of May! We are very happy to announce the arrival of Beauty and Dot.ca’s first eyas at 6:11 pm.

It wasn’t long before Dot.ca arrived to check out the new arrival.

As you can see in the picture above, there is a pip (small hole) in the darker egg. It won’t be long before the first eyas is joined by his/her siblings.

Be sure to check out our streaming video! Enjoy!

While things have slowed down a bit at the nest box, now might be a good time to do some website maintenance. Over the next few days, the server that runs the site will be upgraded.

This morning, at approximately 10:52 am, Beauty laid her 4th egg.

She has never laid more than four eggs in a season. If she does lay a fifth egg, it should happen on April 1st at approximately 8:00 pm (give or take).

In the meantime, they will probably start hard incubation now. It won’t be long before small, white fluffy eyases make an appearance!

Please stay safe everyone!

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.

Very early this morning, at 3:12 am, Egg #3 arrived. We may have missed it, but our cameras are tireless. They caught the whole happy event. We even have a video snippet for your viewing pleasure!

A few hours later, Dot.ca came in to check on all three of his eggs!

If there is a 4th egg, it should arrive around noon-1 pm on Monday. Beauty and Dot.ca average 4 eggs each year.

We here at Rfalconcam hope that everyone is doing well and staying healthy.

Woohoo! Egg #2! 🙂

It took approximately 57 hours for Beauty to lay her 2nd egg at 4:42 pm. It didn’t take long for Dot.ca to check it out. The 3rd egg will probably arrive early Saturday morning. Stay tuned!

I believe we all needed a bit of good news! On this cold, rainy morning here in Rochester, NY, Beauty laid her first egg of 2020. We here at Rfalconcam were eggstatic to see the arrival of this beautiful egg!
