Nice picture of the eggs, Nancy. And thanks for your report, Greg. There were some reports of an "extra" falcon in Harrisburg on Tuesday also. I'm not completely sure, but I think Trinity is there now. Saw Red Girl on there late yesterday evening, so am assuming all is well.

Me too. Red Girl and Trinity have been taking turns on the eggs as usual since one of them saw the intruder to the borders yesterday. All in a day's work.

I'm going to take a guess here and say Trinity on the eggs.

Thanks for the picture Nancy of the eggs. Haven't seen them lately.

I checked a couple times today, and wasn't sure who was on the eggs. But I'm sure it's Red Girl right now.

Just looked at the cam, and nobody is on the eggs right now. Oops, Red Girl just arrived.

I caught Red Girl in the nest just now, but I missed seeing the eggs.

If this year is similar to last year, we might have the first hatch next weekend (4/12 or 4/14)! Last year the first egg was laid on 3/7, and the first hatch occurred on 4/16. This year the first egg was laid on 3/3.

Yes, it will be interesting to see when the eggs begin to hatch, and also how many of them. Just checked the cam, and it looks like Red Girl is in for the night. She was fooling with the gravel a bit ago.

I was able to catch these just before a parent came in & covered them:

Great picture, Nancy. I have not figured out who is on the eggs as of 8:45 this morning.

Nancy - I agree with Jane: Great picture of the six eggs last night! The circle of five eggs around one in the center almost looks like a stylized flower.

Aren't they beautiful? I JUST SAW THEM NOW! 7:45 A.M. Then I think it was Trinity who came in?????? Always wrong about this. LOL!

It's not easy trying to cover six eggs!

Gosh after reading Facebook, I looked at my Log Book to see when the first egg was laid. It was 3/3/14. They could be close to a hatch. Thanks for that entry in Facebook. Woke me up to how close we are to magic happening!! LOL! :hatchegg:

STILL 6 EGGS THIS MORNING :-)

An exit followed by an entrance just now. No pips apparent yet, but the first hatch could be as early as today.

I saw her getting on the eggs and she was a little "concerned", (if that is the word) with the position.

Jane · **Posted:** Sat Apr 12, 2014 10:03 am

Saw Trinity get off the eggs about a minute ago. Within 30 seconds, Red Girl came in. She looks HUGE compared to Trinity. She's sitting there very calmly at the moment.

RED GIRL SURE IS LOOKING LIKE A NERVOUS NELLY! SPINNING IN CIRCLES ON THE EGGS..........

Jane · **Posted:** Sat Apr 12, 2014 11:33 am

I must be catching her at the wrong moment. Every time I look, she's sitting there as cool as a cucumber.

I think something is going on with the eggs. She keeps looking under herself, then all around like maybe she's looking for Trinity.

Edit: And she followed that up with looking cool as a cucumber! :egg14:
