Just a thought
I have watched earthquakes since 1967 so this is not a strange thing to me.
I have in recent years added volcanoes which are also seismic.
Interestingly, technicly tornadoes and hurricanes are seismic too.
I have been seeing increased seismic activity across the USA and the world.

Birds and animals are disturbed by less earthquake magnitudes than humans.
If a quake isnt 4.0+ humans are unlikely to notice.
Animal kingdom can also sense BEFORE a quake hits, and have been known to LEAVE their area.
Whether this is influencing oddities in bird nesting behaviors is not absurd.
I am speculating based on knowledge

Earth has a magnetic core. It is taught by some that Earth magnetic fields and sun position are the guiding factors in migrations.

bev - Could be cuz its May 1
I was alarmed when I clicked this thread - to find it LOCKED!
Then I thot - perhaps they started a new one - and you did

Yay! I'm so happy C3 made it! He/she must have hatched sometime between 8:00-9:30 last night. It's bittersweet to see that all three of E2's last eggs were viable.

Now the big question -- is Terzo's egg going to hatch? If it does, what are the chances of the chick's survival? Has anyone seen a 6 or 7 day age difference between peregrine chicks before?

The WildEarth archives are still not recording. This camera is not the only one affected, either. I hope WildEarth is able to fix the problem soon!

vlu - Between today being Sonday AND May 1 it might not be fixed until tomorrow

Keep trying. The last few days I have also had problems getting the cam to open. I think the WildEarth website is just too busy, and that's probably why the archives are missing.

Thanks! After several tries, I've got it. (You're right about the WildEarth site - busy-busy- many of them are slow to come up).

Shep!! I'm going to do that right now! Thanks!

Very interesting, thanks for bringing over carly! :hatchegg:

Congratulations Hope and E2! And thanks Terzo for accepting these very special babies as your own! :flirty:

Nadia · **Posted:** Sun May 01, 2016 12:41 pm

Ditto that! Congratulations! So glad the 3rd hatch was a success. These are E2's babies and hopefully, Terzo will also have one of his own. Very interesting article and the research is recent - 2013. Thanks for sharing it.

Hope just hopped into the nest SCREAMing to Terzo to get food now...
Hopefully, he listened. He looked so cute quickly hopping out!
(When Terzo got up, the chicks looked fine... they didn't open their beaks until Hope was next to them!)

Hope just let out a couple of screams and hopped off the nest for a few seconds...
back in..
3:30pm Now she's "fake-feeding" the chicks (so does that mean the 'pizza man is coming!?')..
