Egg Two Has Been Laid
The female falcon laid her second egg of the season at roughly 1:01 pm on March 30th. She spent the majority of the late morning in the nest box, while the male perched on top of the box. At 12:59 am the male hopped down from his perch and joined the female in the box for a few minutes, vocalizing and observing the egg laying event.

The male departed the box at 1:01 pm after which the female stands, steps back, and reveals the newly laid egg (video below). We hope to see a third egg laid on April 1st or 2nd.
