An update about our beloved Rhea Mae. 2006 Daughter of Maria and Kaver of Rochester.
As told before Rhea Mae Took over the Sheraton Hotel territory in downtown Toronto last august. The resident female was busy with her fledglings and was not seen anymore near the nestsite. Rhea Mae took over and the resident male Tiago was quite pleased with this beautiful very young girl form Rochester. They bonded and spent the winter together at the nestsite.
And this spring we where all hoping Rhea Mae would lay eggs. It is very early in her live. Most females don't start laying eggs before their second adult year.
But our young girl, she did start. On March 28 she laid her first egg, on April 3 her second. Linda Woods reports Rhea Mae produced her third egg on April 5 and much to everybodie ssurprise she even laid a fourth one on April 8.
She and Tiago have started incubation. And is everything goes well around May 10 het first eyas will be born!
