Incubation begins…

Wednesday, March 19, 2025

For the first two plus hours at the south side of Morro Rock, the female was not seen, but the male was in a hole eating a bird. He then flew around a bit and went into the nest site. The female then came out and exercised a bit and went straight to the twig where she sat for two hours.

The male after incubating all this time came out to the mouth of the eyrie looking around for her. She let him stew for another fifteen minutes before she went back for the exchange. This is the first sign of incubation. The eggs should hatch around April 18th to the 20th. 

Because we cannot see into the eyrie, the number of eggs laid is unknown.

Happy trails,  Bob and Jerry
