Yes, Virginia, there is a 4th egg.
Sorry for torturing a movie
line about Santa Claus, but our falcon allowed a peek of the eggs this afternoon. Others apparently saw it earlier, but I was finally able to confirm for myself that there is indeed a fourth egg. This might be it for eggs, but it is still possible that another egg could be laid. My money says this is it, but I am usually wrong when I bet.
The other egg was layed sometime before 8 am. The hen had just left the nest and the male was standing guard.
I check every morning when I get up and it was already there.
Thanks!, Frankie, for the additional information. Happy watching.
I look to see how the falcons are doing every day. Will be looking forward to the day we are watching their young
