Hi Everyone,
Here is an update on the Peregrines situation at the HCA plant, as of April 27, 2015.
April 27, 2015, Incubation is taking place, as in any other year. At 12:30pm, I observed what
looked like a change of shift, however when I noticed it, I could not say for sure that the male had come out from sitting on the eggs. All I noticed was him sitting on the corner of the nest ledge, and a couple of minutes later Caspian was on the ledge of the building directly to the east. Within 5 minutes she flew to the nest. I hurried up to the top of the silos to confirm this, and she was sitting on the eggs. The male flew off. (I was able to get a glimpse of his tag, but can’t confirm the bottom number on the black band.) The top letter was an “R”.It looked like (R over 12).
April 23, 2015, at 7am we observed that 3 of the eggs had been been turned over (reddish color
facing up) and Caspian started sitting on them. The same goes for Friday April 24th.
On Wednesday afternoon, April 22, the eggs were still undisturbed, and were already fairly
faded in color.
April 7, 2015, Storm (male) found dead. No incubation takes place from this day onward.
Monday, April 6, 2015, 4 eggs in the nest, likely laid over the weekend.
