Egg #2

Joel Jorgensen April 2, 2014 2 Comments

As expected, the female Peregrine Falcon laid her second egg late this afternoon.

My best estimate is that it took about 58 hours for the number of eggs to double.  I would anticipate a third egg will be laid late Friday or early Saturday.  Visit the LIVE! streaming video HERE.  Enjoy the show!
