Another Mass cam it is Lawrence Mass. This makes 4 camera's in Mass now we may need to have a topic just for these 4 :egg11:

It is dark so I don't know if there has been a hatch the article is a few days old
As of late afternoon, Saturday, April 21, the Peregrines continue to incubate the 4 eggs in the nest box. For a moment, the 4 eggs were left unattended during the incubation change over time. This provides all of us with a nice clear view of the 4 brownish colored eggs. They appear to be in excellent shape. Based on the fourth and final egg being laid on Saturday, March 24th, Tom French at Mass Wildlife estimated an approximate incubation period of 28 days with a projection that chicks will hatch today or over the next few days. Stay tuned to the New Balance webcam!
Background on Lawrence Peregrines:
INFO:

CAM:

According to Chris Hill at NH Audubon, the male in Lawrence was born in Manchester, NH in 2001 to a first year nesting pair. There were four chicks in the brood and he was the runt of the brood. The big question at that time was will this runt of the brood make it to adult life?

As of February 2012, the runt of the 2001 brood is the only one to survive from the original group. This Peregrine Falcon has a very healthy breeding history with ten years at this site in Lawrence.

His leg bands are 6*/4* black over green. The “*” indicates that the numbers are not vertical, but are laid over on their sides on the band. The service number on his other leg band is 2206-59866.

According to Tom French at Mass Wildlife, this is the original nesting female in Lawrence. When this pair of Peregrines first nested in 2003, she was unbanded, but she was aggressive enough that when she made a pass at one of the Mass Wildlife officials he was able to hold her and then band her. The female in Lawrence is banded V over 5 (V/5), black over green, and the silver service band on her other leg is 987-98049.

There is no known data about where she originally came from, but she would have been born in 2001, making her 11 years old. Peregrine Falcons often make it to about 10 years old, but not much older. The oldest known bird in the eastern Mass. area was a male at the Customs House in Boston that lived to be 19.
