Observations and "Falcon Funnies"
page 3

4/11 Buckeye and SW are continuing to incubate the eggs and keep them at the correct temperature. We are just about one week away from seeing the eyases. We are wondering if / how SW and Buckeye "know" the time is getting close? Are they getting as excited as we are? Will there be any changes in their behavior patterns this next week? Stay tuned ......

4/11 1:10 pm
Notice the size difference between birds

4/11 2:33 pm Buckeye
giving us a glimpse of the eggs

4/11 3:58 pm
"These make a good head rest"

4/12 1:01 pm "Now, follow these instructions ..."	4/12 5:17 pm SW snoozing "Ahhh almost over ..."	4/12 5:28 pm "Knock, knock..."
Noticing that we are starting to see the birds looking, or possibly listening, to the eggs more ... wonder if the babies are starting to move the eggs on their own or make noise?
4/13 9:36 am "Break time."	4/13 9:39 am sweet falcon	4/13 10:35 am "How much longer?!!"
4/13 7:43 pm Rainy evening in Cleveland ...	The rain created a new do ~ The Falcon Mohawk	4/14 9:57 am A quick glimpse shows us nothing is hatching yet ~ at least 4 days to go ....
4/14 1:50 pm Buckeye: "Do YOU mind?!"	4/14 2:04 pm Buckeye talking to himself	4/14 6:01 pm SW "Any action yet?"
4/15 7:49 am SW "turning" eggs with her foot	Hatching should take place within the nest few days ~ maybe as early as tomorrow. The signs are there, as reported by Mr. Wright ... "listening to the eggs" , calling to them, and an arch in SW's back. Look at the way she is sitting on the eggs now as opposed to earlier in the month.	4/16 7:18 am "Peek-a-boo"
4/16 7:46 am Buckeye Listening or looking up?	4/16 9:56 am SW In almost the same position as Buckeye	4/16 10:48 am SW Notice how wings seem to be open more and back is higher ...

A picture is worth 1000 words ~ and you have to wonder what is going through her mind by the expression on her face
4/16 12:02 pm SW checking the numbers.	4/16 1:03 pm "Nothing yet."	4/16 2:44 pm Buckeye "Still time to get in a little nap."
4/16 4:56 pm Still checking ...	4/16 7:51 pm Same position as earlier ...	As the sun went down SW was on the nest for the night. The BIG question ~ will we have eyases in the morning?
