!!! Hatch confirmed!
May 11, 2011 - Toronto - King Street
Mark Nash Reports:
Tuesday May 10th
We have just received great news from Linda, our downtown falcon watch coordinator that a hatch has been confirmed at the King Street nest site! While the resident adult female was not giving much up as she is still sticking tight to her incubation / brooding activities, Linda was able to get a quick peek as the female shuffled around on the scrape in an effort to cover up her eggs.
At one point, Linda was able to see at least one fluffy white ball of down among the unhatched eggs, and some egg fragments that has been pushed aside clearly in the view of the camera.
Sadly, Linda is also experiencing some problems again with her Rogers internet service and she could not get connected to the www to do the posting.
It is believed that the actual hatch happened some time on Monday when Linda did her last site visit, as the adult female was paying allot of attention to something going on under her,, but she did not give Linda a view of what all the excitement was about.
Fingers crossed that there will be other eggs hatch over the next few days!
Stay tuned……
