!!! Call Guiness book of records (longest unsuccessfull incubation)
August 01, 2015 - Port Colborne - ADM Mill
Doug Garbutt Reports:
Today at 9am the resident female decided to consume the final egg in the nest box. This egg is at least 10 weeks old & bleached white from the sun, the last 2 weeks of +30 degrees temps must have really rotted the egg. After she broke the egg & ate it a swarm of flys covered the spot where the liquid layed on the stones. This falcon continues to look confused and not too sure of what to do. The resident male has not been seen in the nest box for a few weeks. It’s disturbing to watch the female so confused.
