Checking DVR I notice this pair appeared late yesterday.
He brot her prey.  BOTH appear to be banded - I think?

She is a lady in waiting, around a lot, even thru all the rain/sleet
I am looking for an egg soon

March 26, 2022
She looked like she was laying an egg
The male perched on the stick
Yesterday was so windy, such NASTY weather, it actually blew him off the perch.

I have not seen an egg yet
3 falcons LOOKED like they were laying today!

This pair has been around a lot.
They appear very nicely and closely bonded.
Notes and pics were lost when RRP archived stuff

1 EGG or 2?
March 31, 2022
I think she has an egg but its hidden by box edge

4.30 pm I SEE one egg
If there is a 2nd egg hidden by the lip, she has 2 eggs
She just laid it - I watched
I DONT know for sure if thats #1 or 2

Its so precious how closely her mate stays by her.
This afternoon he perched on the side of the box as she labored

[Nora in IA]

It didn't say live on it...............maybe later or tomorrow.

[Linda M]

Oops, sorry Nora.  I realized it was dated April 1 (appropriately enough!) and wasn't live.  Went to modify my post to the link and deleted it.

3 EGGS
April 5, 2022
According to sky on bcaw, egg 3 arrived before dawn
they are mostly hidden by the edge of the box

[Nora in IA]

All I've been able to actually see are 2 by the edge too.  One of these days they'll shift them over further.

[Nora in IA]

I really want to say for eggs under her.  I was watching her when they did a shift change and I could see three, but it looked like she pulled another one in from the edge and had quite a time covering them.
