Cobb Island
Proud mother with her first egg. More to come. She looks over her shoulder if her mate is nearby. De Mortel : a 2nd egg!!
Our own beloved S2 of The Mortel has laid her second egg. Because the webcams are not working yet people went into the Tower to see if there was already a second egg. And there is!
First Dad is sitting on the eggs, then he gets up and we are able to see the two wonderful eggs. The proud mother is outside that moment, but gets in as soon as possible to take care of her prescious eggs.
And looks in the camera: ahh you are all there again! See what miracle has happened to me, I will be a mother for the very first time.....
We all love this falcon, she brought us despair and greeve and then she gave us so much happiness and joy. She so much deserves to become a mother now.
She has been en is still my inspiration for writing my extensive website.
On the Dutch De Mortel Forum you can watch the video of S2 with her eggs:

Changing the guard: Phönix takes over from Aurora. She will eat now and relieve herself from droppings.

Terminal Tower
These fabulous photo's are made by Scott Wright. He is a great photographer!! I am so very happy and honored he gave me permission to use his photographs om my Falcoperegrinus website.These 3 are from today. Buckeye scraping a bowl for his lady SW. He invites her to come into the nest and inspect his scrape for her eggs. Watch her stepping into the nest ever so gracefully ( great shot Scott!) and then they kiss. Marvelous captures.Photo's are copyright Scott Wright.
Watch them all on the Ohio forum
Cobb Island: first Egg!!
A first egg in the nestbox on Cobb Island. Congratulations to both falcons! It's a beautiful egg. She's so proud and so careful with it. More images to come!Rochester
Always a joy to watch the Rochester falcons. The images are fabulous from the main camera. Jim Pisello did a great job in cleaning the lens! There has been much confusion today about a brownish object in the nestbox. Many viewers mistook it for the first egg! The excavation activities of the falcons in the scrape brought something up, but it is definitely no egg!
