FYI... on the Union County webcam page, under the Facebook posts, they are mentioning that Resident Mom's eggs should hatch any day. From what I can tell, Dad didn't start to stick to eggs until 4/4, that's when we lost Mom. So we are not anywhere near hatch. I think there might be a misunderstanding about how peregrines lay, then delay incubation.

Anyway, just an FYI...

Wow...that is amazing! I thought she would stop at two, since she's been fully incubating after her 1st egg. OMG...these two will have their work cut out for them if they all hatch.

In any event, given mwplay's note about Mom's eggs :egg19:

...if they hatch...calculating the math from 4/4 and 33 days out, that would bring us to 5/7 for hatching. Although, it might be a tad later, since Dad was off the eggs for stretches at a time after the changeover occurred even though he was trying to fully incubate (poor guy was multi-tasking). Cadence's eggs have been under full incubation from day 1, so those would start hatching around 5/25. We would end up with kids at all different ages here. :girlcrazy:

Really? That is truly amazing Carly. I would never think a youngster of that age would be maternal. I always learn something new about these birds. They are such a wonder to me. There is so much more going on under that head of feathers than we give them credit for. Thanks for that info. :egg19:

Certainly will be interesting Nadia. One year KathyQ's sister Erin, who nests up here in Toronto, started incubating from her first egg. Plus there was a few days between egg 3 and 4 ...the last egg hatched on Day 7 from the day the first one did. The first one - who turned out to be female, ended up mothering the newly hatched baby...we even would see her brooding and feed him with food mom had brought in. It was a really tender family dynamic that year.

Wow! What a wonderful memory for you!

Jersey City~still no cam

Union~this was Dad's second attempt to cover eggs. There was a 3rd attempt that was a tad more successful. I don't have an egg count.

JC cam working late this morning. Wasn't quick enough to get a pic, but got a look at the eggs and we still have 3, so that may be the number this season (anything is an improvement over the last 2 years though!).

12:15 pm - Dad has been on the eggs every time I checked this morning. He has prey debris on his beak. A real handsome bird and devoted Dad.

Jersey City
The cams are down for me.
