Today we went to Snoqualmie Falls and observed the female Peregrine Falcon with what appeared to be a first egg.
They are using the scrape they used two years ago. The one nearest the falls.
The male met the female halfway across the river and passed a bird to her. It was a great sight!
Do Peregrine Falcons sit the first egg or do they begin incubation after laying all the eggs?
The link below has a picture of the scrape location. There is also a picture of both birds on the scrape with the egg and one of the birds with the egg. The egg is brown and on the left.
