Falchi pellegrini a Columbus, OH: Orville&Scout

[Sonia]

ieri sera (pomeriggio là) li ho osservati tantissimo...
in effetti lei era così tenera, toccava l'uovo delicatamente con una zampina :roll:
poi metto la sequenza

ora è lì




speriamo! :roll:

Dai, sembra che le cose si stiano normalizzando per Orville e Scout.
A me quasi quasi basterebbe si schiudesse un uovo solo e nascesse un pulcino vitale e possibilmente fortunato.
Ho l'impressione che questa giovane falchetta abbia bisogno di tempo per maturare la sua capacità riproduttiva, forse più di altre.
Ma staremo a vedere.
Questa è una parte del comunicato ufficiale:
Update from Donna. (posted by Donna Daniel at 4/07/2008 08:07:00 AM)
Well, after a delay of 8 days Scout has produced egg #2! Or, is it egg #1 after re-cycling? I can't say for sure which category it would technically fall into without looking through reference material but the bottom line is another egg was laid Sunday, April 6 about 7:13 p.m!! And, as of this morning Scout appears to be in incubating posture. Only by observation will we be able to determine if true incubation has started. If she does stay tight on the eggs from this point on we'll have to wait for a mate change to note if any additional eggs appear in the coming days. I know a lot of anxious Falconcam Fans are breathing a sigh of relief with the latest turn of events that put things toward more "normal" behavior that we have been anticipating! Let's hope that nesting goes full steam ahead from this point! And, if we end up with a hatch next month, it will be interesting to note if that 1st egg hatches or not. If you look close there is a difference in pigmentation of the two eggs--the first egg is much lighter and duller in appearance.

Ed ecco le foto con il #2 :D :D (posted by Skygirblue).







E qui una preda enorme..! (posted by Buckiles) :shock:

Ha deposto il terzo...
:D





speriamo! :D

[Giovanna]

Si! :D
Ma il primo (il più chiaro) è meglio non prenderlo in considerazione, non è stato covato e dicono sia infecondo.
Vedremo...

What a good dad!
Published by Kate StJ under Peregrines, Nesting

E2, the new male peregrine at University of Pittsburgh, is a very attentive father. He’s participating a lot in the boring but vital job of incubation, and he proves again and again that he’s a good provider by bringing Dorothy food.

Last week I saw him do both on the National Aviary’s webcam.

In this snapshot, E2 is sitting on the eggs when Dorothy arrives. She bows and touches his beak to let him know she’s ready to resume incubation. Click the picture to see a slideshow of this activity.

Thx, Nora for the info! :D

Breakfast is served....

[Odiug]

On my blog I'm following the birds with some short video-highlights taken from both cams. In editing I let the cameras switch when a bird enters, or is leaving the box.

[Sonia]

Hi Odiug, and thanks!
:D

[Giovanna]

Welcome in here, Odiug! :D
A lot of thanks to help us in up dating, so many nests to follow.. :roll: :D :D :D

[Odiug]

Hello Giovanna and other forum members,
Yes, every year there are more cams to choose from.
Sometimes that makes you're eyes :shock:

[Giovanna]

That's true, Odiug!
Twice welcome!!

Note from Donna.
Incubation going well.
Incubation seems to be progressing normally. Overall, the weather this spring has been warmer than average including several very bright, sunny days. Some fans have been curious--others concerned--that Scout at times appears to be panting. This is correct-she does sometimes pant and if you have noticed, stands over the eggs to shade them instead of setting tight on them. This is because of the extremely warm temperatures. The nest box faces south and especially on a sunny day, it can be quite warm up on the 41st floor nesting ledge. So, to compensate, Scout regulates the temperature of the eggs by standing over them and to cool herself, she pants. These behaviors are normal.

As most have figured out, the streaming video for the nest box has been down the past couple of days. Unfortunately, the problem exists with an outside party and is beyond the control of the Division of Wildlife to correct. However, we have alerted the partner and hope they will correct things on their end in order for the video to be restored ASAP. In the meantime, the still images refresh every 15 seconds so you can still see what is going on inside the nest box. Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience!
