Not sure, it's very secure over there and the view is quite a distance. The watchers see her in the Pigeon Poop Hole brooding. If there are eggs in the hole, they won't hatch until the end of June. Just found out that Unity is from Ohio. This is her 1st year with eggs. I'll upload some pics later after work.

OK, here's a pic of Kodak Park where the 2nd nest is. This is as far as you can go for security reasons. The watchers have to call and let them know they are there. The nest is in the Pigeon Poop Hole, as we call it because pigeons have roosted there for many years, as you'll see in the next pic. We don't know how many eggs are there right now. She just started laying them last week. We won't know unless someone from Kodak actually goes out to look or if someone has a 3 foot lens on their camera. Very hard to see. I put a red line where the nest is

This is the Pigeon Poop Hole. Now you know why we call it that. Mounds and mounds of POO! The peregrine is Unity going in. Hope you don't mind me posting these here, just wanted you all to see where the 2 timer Archer, (he's so cute) has his 2nd nest site. It takes him about 5 minutes, (as the falcon flies) to go from nest to nest. OY!!

Tomorrow the high temp will be 76°F / 24°C. A bit cooler.

Zephyr is on the eggs at the moment: it seems to be raining heavily there.

Thanks Alison, I never seem to catch him on the eggs!

Current temperature is 52°F / 11°C
At least it has cooled off a bit. :sunsmile:

Could this possibly be a hatch - second and third pics.

gigi · **Posted:** Mon May 16, 2011 7:56 pm

I am not sure. This is a picture that SGB posted showing one of the eggs being a really light color. I have never gotten a good look lately. It has been cool and rainy, and I think Guinevere is doing a good job of keeping thing covered up.

You're probably right, Gigi. It's difficult to get a good look at the eggs.
