hi all:

the 2010 hatching season is officially under way. i observed the pair
mating at about 1615 today, march 12, 2010 on the near side of the bowl
below the falls, not too far from the newly christened peregrine falcon
viewing area. the male rode a thermal up about a thousand feet in what
appeared to be a victory lap. showoff. through binoculars from that lower
location it was not possible to see if there was anything on the other side
of the river, but a look through heavy glass at the oldest nest site, the
one nearest the falls and visible from the upper walkway revealed a single
egg. the falcon landed there at about 1645 and settled in on that egg.
some of her body and tail movements seemed to suggest she was ready to lay
another egg, but the weather was so abysmal, i confess to being a slacker
who went home to warm up, so whether there is a second egg remains to be
seen.

regards,

t
