It can't be her mother.
A female without rings at the University of Biosci, incubates eggs.
Nina's mother has been a resident in Biosci since 2009.

Biosci - Nina's mother.

OK Terka thanks.
That juvie just perched there so long, preened and preened
Kept peeking inside - I wondered if she'd go in

It just seemed odd she wasnt chased off

At night, Nova broke the shell. We will give 3 eggs.

We lost our youngest falcon at the Great Spirit Bluff nest yesterday. We were all cheering for our little underdog and were hoping that its spunk would help bridge the size gap between it and its siblings. A newly hatched baby falcon or eyass can make it several days without food, but it looked like too much was missed for it to keep its strength up. Competing with larger siblings for food is always a significant issue and the larger the hatch age gap, the more challenging it is to make it through the first critical week of development. It seemed that many times it was hard for our little underdog to get up and keep its beak open and in the right direction during feeding time. Here are some photos from hatch on Saturday the 9th to Thursday the 14th. Rest in peace little one.
