Zwolle

Beautiful peregrines involved in courtship behaviour. Please go on the two of you. We would love to see some eyases this year in Zwolle. It will be livestreaming for the very first time.

Terminal Tower

SW at the scrape. Last year she started laying her eggs on the 18th. The weather was the same cold and snow. Last year one of her eggs broke. Hope everything goes well now. It's to cold for the eggs to be left alone, so she will have to stay with them all the time. Maybe the weather will clear up.

Oberhausen: 14th day

Early this morning, female took over from the male, who stayd a while on the ledge

Sussex heights

No real activity at the nestsight, much to early

Rome

Columbus Ohio

When can we expect eggs?

For now the falconcams (still photos and live streaming) are operational again! We are still working on some system tweaks so hopefully future outages--if they occur--will be kept to a minimum.Peregrine season will be under way any day in Ohio. I haven't heard an official report yet for this year (statewide updates should start on the Division of Wildlife's website soon), but looking back at last year the first egg for the season was laid at the Cleves site on 3/7/07. Scout produced her first egg on 3/24/07. Generally, as the female matures, eggs can be produced a little earlier in subsequent years. So, I wouldn't be surprised if Scout starts a few days sooner this year. Here's a picture saved from the major snow storm that hit Columbus over the weekend. The camera is about 6 inches above the ledge. At one point the entire view was obscured by snow. But as you can see from checking the cams this week, the southern exposure of the ledge made quick work of the snow!

Indianapolis

Preening at the nestsite, just waiting for the snow to melt. No weather yet to strat a family.

Heidelberg

Tomorrow a third egg? Think so. Aurora stays in the nest almost the whole day.

Florence

Peregrine at the scrape, no eggs yet.

Derby

Both peregrines at the nestsite and up the tower.

ABOUT FALCONCAM

The Center for Conservation Biology, in partnership with the Virginia Department of Transportation, Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries, Shenandoah National Park, and Virginia Coast Reserve Long-term Ecological Research, has installed video cameras on four peregrine falcon nest sites throughout Virginia for the breeding seasons. Click on the links to view live images from these falconcams (several nest sites have more than one camera monitoring the nest). Cameras are operational 24 hours a day unless otherwise noted.

Bologna: 13th day

Incubating, incubating: time and especially energy consuming. The parents need a lot of food to keep their bodytemperature optimal in order to incubate their prescious eggs at the right temperature. So their not just sitting there!
