845AM one egg still appears intact. 7PM - one egg still appears intact. Photos from noon feeding added.

Tip for webcam viewers, you may occasionally see small spots flying past the camera. These are sometimes feathers from prey being prepared and precede a feeding...

More distant viewers chimed in, from Southern California and a special "hi" to Lee, Bill & friends in St. Catherines who've been following the falcons even through the winter!

Since first hatch the routine has changed for our adults. They used to sleep in as late as 730AM. Today a feeding was observed before 7 and another at 845, so the more frequent feedings have begun. Smaller prey are being used to feed the young at this point. The adults are also far more on guard than they were weeks ago.

If this is your first season watching a falcon nest, take a look here to see the first 40 days of falcon development as recorded in 2008. Apologies, I likely won't photo-document the same way this season, that took an insane amount of time and not a day was missed :)
