FALCON FLASH

Dateline:  Cleveland, Ohio

March 16, 2008

This morning as the sun came up, SW was not budging off the scrape, and she kept falcon fans guessing whether there was an egg beneath her……

Scott Wright, volunteer nest monitor for the Ohio Division of Wildlife reports: "Eggs will be laid every other day until SW is done, with up to 2 days between eggs.  In my many years of nest monitoring, I have noticed every other day the average." 

Active incubation (male and female taking turns sitting on the eggs) often does not begin until the 2nd or 3rd egg, because the eggs are inert until they are incubated.

Will there be more eggs?  Keep your eyes and browser set to:  http://www.falconcam-cmnh.org/news.php

Our thanks to the Cleveland Museum of Natural History for sponsoring the FalconCams and for the stills.

She finally gave us a peek, and we think the first egg was laid sometime after dark March 15th or early morning on March 16th.
