Peregrine Falcon shift change
The long tedious incubation that will total 30-36 days is underway. There apparently will be no more eggs; four is it. The eggs should begin hatching during the first week of May. The only noteworthy action over the next three weeks or so will be when the male and female switch incubation duties. This seems to happen mid-morning and I was fortunate enough to capture the Friday shift change at about 9:50 a.m. Video is below, enjoy!






I caught one of those shift changes the other day. It appears that the female is bigger than the male. Thought I read somewhere the female tends to sit on the eggs at night. Apparently the opposite is true; the female hunts at night and comes back in the morning. First week of May should be an exciting time!
