Many thanks to LeicaEagles/George and Kitten!!

New nest in Providence RI has a night light/streaming and a Falcon laying in the nest right now :hapdance:

OK just found that there are 3 eggs here, I'm trying to find out the parents but from what I have seen they might not be banded

Oh, great! Thanks for the separate topic, Barb and for letting us know, Beth! :thanku

Actually, it looks like Beth set it up, so thank you, Beth! :valthumb:

5 eggs--wow! They're going to need some help with fledge watch if all 5 hatch! Mike & Bonnie, how far are you 2 from there? Since your sites don't have eggs yet, these younguns should fledge before yours! :teehee:

Yeah, I'm good at figuring out what other people can do, huh? :valemb:

WOW I looked at the info page and they only had 3 eggs listed I guess they better catch themselves up :teehee:

sure wish I knew when they were laid

WOO HOO!!! Great find. . and thanks for setting up the topic. . I have added to the nesting calendar. . If you come across egg dates, let me know and I'll stick them on the calendar. .

OK so heres what I've got so far
The male is 80/X B/G now the only thing I have found on that band number is from the Va. banding Data

Band Top Bottom Band Type State Sex Bander

B/G 80 X TYPE 9 MA M Contact Bander

5 eggs first was March 13th and one each day after
I have never in my life heard of that but the Audubon Society is the one that posted
the info to me so this will be a first for me anyway :biggrin:

How odd that they're saying an egg every day! :valscratch:

Wonder if they're not sure when the eggs were laid & are guessing. :valrolleyes:

That makes no sense. . 5 eggs, starting March 13th. .biologically impossible. .

I commented on those egg-laying dates too, on their Facebook page. I believe it is just not possible . . . :hmmmm

Dutch Eagle Fan · **Posted:** Mon Apr 16, 2012 1:58 pm

First hatch today.
This is what I wrote on their FB page regarding the dates of egg-laying:

Quote:

I'm sorry but I find it very hard to believe that the first egg was produced on March 13. Normally there is a gap of 48 to 60 hours between them. Assuming that egg #5 came on Saturday March 17 it seems more likely to me that the first egg was delivered on or around March 9.

I think March 9 is not far off :egg9:
