NEWS ALERT: UB The DEC has just informed me that it is accepted that the eggs are no longer viable and they will be removed from the box.and sent to a lab for analysis. It is being planned for tomorrow if everything else is completed today.

Our DEC had to coordinate with UB, the head Wildlife Mgr, get permission from the Albany DEC and the USFWS in Cortland. Nothing could be done before that.

Of course this is very sad for us but at least the birds will no longer have to keep incubating non-viable eggs. The nest box will be checked to try and determine the cause of this year’s problems. I will post any information as it come in.

On a good note for our Peregrine watchers, we have the great Statler cam to follow and I think there is a crack in one egg which I’ve seen to the left.

Double wonderful news! Can't wait to hear what the problems are - with the eggs and the box!
(And in case I forget, Thank you Carly and Sally (and whomever I've missed) for telling me all about this nest!)

Thank you Bon bon. But I am still a student and I am learning something new everyday about nests and falcons. I'm in love with them and their awesomeness. Is awesomeness a word? LOL

Good Morning,
6:29am It does look like Dixie - and she's on the eggs now. No panting seen yet.

Sally · **Posted:** Tue May 10, 2016 8:25 am

Panting and quivering but I am not sure who is on the eggs!

I plan to look in as much as possible today.
