No Fooling, We Have Our First Egg for the Season!!

Wednesday morning at 9:00, Astrid produced her first egg for the 2015 breeding season. This is fully 9 days earlier than she began laying last year. We can expect up to 3 more eggs to be laid in the coming days. We suspected that egg laying was imminent based on Astrid’s recent behavior. She had been loafing on the State Office Building more than usual and instead of coming to the nest box to receive food from Ares, he was bringing it right to wherever she was perched. Last night Astrid came to the box and spent a lot of time sitting. We thought the egg might come then, but it didn’t. She had come and gone 2 more times by morning. At 8:30 AM she was back and obviously ready to lay. The incubation period for Peregrine Falcons is at least 33 days, and so we expect hatching of the eggs to begin in early May. These are exciting times indeed!

    1. Hi Annie,
      I am not sure what you mean by your access is blocked. Are you just having trouble pulling up one of the cameras or the entire website. It’s possible Time Warner can help better than I can but if you send additional info I will try to help you.

      1. I can click on breeding log and read that
        But when I click on the cameras the drop down box appears and quickly retracts, not letting me choose a camera
        This does not do it for my phone – the box remains open to choose a camera

        Both devices are using TWC, (phone also uses gigs )

          1. Does the site support android tablets?
            Is this part of the issue
