Eve Ticknor Reports:
Falcons are in full incubation mode
I went to the roof of Constitution Square around 11:30 this morning
and saw Diana on her nest scrape. It was too windy to put up my
scope, so I wasn't able to look for eggs, but she is most definitely
brooding. My guess is that she has been on her nest for the past 1
or 2 days, so counting forward 33 days to hatch...

Phil Reports:
Falcons are in full incubation mode
Yesterday morning at 8:45 Conner was perched between the second and third
column,north-west side of
the Crowne Plaza. I watched him for some 15 minutes and all seemed quiet,
no sign of Diana.
Today at about the sametime Conner was again near the north-west corner of
the hotel, this time i heard
some vocalizing. He then flys off to land on the anteena of the Bradson
building. He again flies off chasing
some sparrows around the Crowne and returns to his vantage point on the
anteena.
I turn back to the hotel and there is Diana on the north-west corner and
she is vocalizing.
Conner then returns to that corner on the Crowne and they briefly mate.
When I left them Diana was on the same corner and Conner was inside the
nest area.

Eve Ticknor Reports:
This afternoon our falcons were barely visible through the snow on
the west side of the Crowne Plaza Hotel. Good thing snow doesn't
bother them!

Eve Ticknor Reports:
This afternoon, around 4:20, I drove by the Coats Building at
Tunney's Pasture and found both our Peregrines there, on the north
face, near the west end. Although they usually perch on the west
face, there was too much snow this time......
Looking forward to our 12th season in a month, I hope.

Eve Ticknor Reports:
Around 4:30 this afternoon I went looking for our falcons and found
both of them on the west side of the Coats Building at Tuney's
Pasture. Diana was on top of a column near the north end while
Connor was tucked in a corner over the top bank of windows nearest
the southern-most column on the same side.
