IT’S THE FINAL STRETCH FOR OUR PARENT FALCONS
We are heading into the final stretch! Our DNR FalconCam Falcons, located in a nest box in downtown Saint Paul, are carefully tending to their 4 eggs, which were laid between March 31st and April 19th of this year.
PREDICTED BIRTHDATE IS MAY 8TH
Since the incubation period is normally about 33-35 days, the expected hatching date is tomorrow!
I thought I would check in on the falcons today, just in case they were hatching early.
ACTIVITY THIS MORNING
This morning, at around 5:30 a.m., the parents switched duties and gave us a brief view of the four eggs in the nest.
The eggs still look good, but as of 10:30 a.m., they were still not hatching. It will be interesting to watch the nest over the next few days…
