Richmond Falcon Cam

Egg # 4

  • May 14th, 2013

Today we were able to see a fourth egg in the Richmond nest.  Given how well the eggs are hidden in the nest box we can’t be sure when it was laid.  Based on our estimates of when the previous eggs were laid, we believe that this egg was produced sometime between Saturday and afternoon.  This egg will likely fill out the clutch although as this female showed us earlier this season – peregrine falcons are capable of  laying five eggs.
