It wasn’t an Easter Egg, but it was really close to being one. Just past midnight, Nova stood up from her two eggs and at 12:39 am, Egg #3 arrived! It was 68 hrs and 26 mins between her 2nd and 3rd eggs. That’s a pretty average time for Nova.

Here is the video of Nova laying her 3rd egg! Thanks Dana!

We didn’t get a good look at all 3 eggs until hours later when Nova stood up.

At 5:09 am, Corazon came into the nest box to see the newest arrival and give Nova a break. Nova took off and Corazon attempted to cover all three eggs. It took a bit of maneuvering, but he finally got it!

Nova returned and had quite the conversation with Corazon, We call these stand-offs! Over the years, our Tiercels (males) sometimes are very stubborn and don’t want to leave their eggs. Nova was quite insistent and Corazon finally stood up and left.

Here is the video of Corazon coming in to give Nova a break. Thanks again Dana! Be sure to turn up the video!

We finally were able to get a close-up picture of all three big, beautiful eggs. Thanks Shaky!

Will there be a 4th Egg? Based on their behavior, I think they had already started hard incubation before the 3rd egg was laid. So probably not. But, you just never know!

Thanks for watching the Rochester Falcons!
