Lansing/ Erickson - the cam operator is zooming in on a falcon that is perched on a roof near the nestbox…

At Eckert, there was a mating on the I-beams, then a bowing to each other in the box.
At Erickson, two were present at the box. The season is warming up! 3-11-25

If you are confident of this answer and know this through science, we are looking for an answer on mating...

Since Millie has had two mates in the last 7 days, will her eggs be fertilized by both?
Timing?
First egg when Newman was here last week?
Next egg timing? 3rd egg perhaps could be when Gus arrived and mated with her?

I don't think there is anyway to know...unless DNA testing is done on fathers and chicks...Since some birds can "hold on" to sperm before fertilization....I'm guessing the first egg could belong to either Newman OR Gus... :girlcrazy:

At Erickson, Erika is in the box acting like there is an egg to turn and incubate, but the scrape is so deep, we can't see it. I think Dina is going to have to make a trip to the roof! Or we wait to see how many hatches we get.

Lansing Erickson's Facebook page says there are 3 eggs as of 4/3/25.

4th egg at Erickson and pip should be first week of May at Erickson

Our male at our Eckert nest has an odd green streak now, as of 5 days ago, any thoughts what this is?
