At Morro Rock, I observe the falcons every day. I just don’t write every day and a lot of times I write, but don’t post every day. I do this to make sure that what I wrote was actually happening.
Here’s today’s example: The north side pair of falcons started incubating on Friday, the 13th of March. Therefore hatching should occur on or about the 15th of April. However, this is not etched in stone. Chicks would be visible the first of May.
Happy trails, Bob
Item: You can see that I delayed the incubation date to make sure they were into hard incubation and not just egg laying. Hard incubation is when you see there are incubation exchanges between the tiercel and the falcon. They will be taking turns sitting on the eggs at this time.
