James River Bridge: 4 eggs!

Lizzie laid her 4th egg. And by the looks of it, there even might be a 5th one.

Froona said...: Yes they can Karen Anne. Most peregrines produce 3-4 eggs, but there are females who prefer large clutches. Mariah of Rochester for example.
Just wait and see if Elizabeth will produce a fifth one. She looks very lethargic. But on the other hand, she has started incubating. The female starts incubating after laying the egg before the last one. So we just have to wait and see.; March 9, 2008 at 10:19 PM

" We need another, and a wiser, perhaps a more mystical,
concept of animals.
Remote from universal nature and living by complicated artifice,
man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge
and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion.

*
We patronize them for their incompleteness,
for their tragic fate of having taken form so far below ourselves.
And therein we err, and greatly err.
For the animal shall not be measured by man.
*
In a world older and more complete than ours
they move finished and complete,
gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained,
living by voices we shall never hear.
*
They are not brethren.
They are not underlings.
They are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time,
fellow prisoners of the splendor and travail of the earth.”
*
