Tuesday Telling

WELL, did I have a nice Monday nap! No flashy beast getting me like it did LAST week!
I like to chekhk in on Mom...
And she watches out at me...
And my parts!
The sum of my parts!
Why Mom was working, I raided her pikhs and skhanned this...khan woo believe it?
Look what she is touching?!?
******
Here are the last of my videos from last Friday's hike...
I hope woo enjoy them!
******
Mom has been keeping her eyes open fur Egg #2 but as of 6:08pm Monday, there is still only one in the nest area. She should be laying them every two or three days SO Monday would have been khonsistent with her past khlutches. I would almost expekht we'll see another one by the time the Tuesday sun khomes up in Pawsylvania.
Stella and Pedro both khommented they thought Mom would be spending more time there. It is furry inkhredible how they know. Mom was talking to the egg a bit Monday afternoon. She knows to turn it...how long to leave it in the sun...or when to get it out of the sun.
HERE IS A BIT FROM THE WEBSITE FUR THE 2008 SEASON

3/27/2008 :: Three EggsThere are now three eggs in the nest. The adults will begin brooding for increasingly longer periods of time as the clutch grows. When the clutch is complete, most likely at four to five eggs, brooding will be continuous. The male and female share brooding duties; the male will sit 30 to 40 percent of the entire time it takes to hatch the full clutch.

3/24/2008 :: First Egg is Laid!Just after 7 AM on Saturday, March 22nd, the first egg of the 2008 season was delivered before hundreds of onlookers via live stream Web video. Typically, the female lays an egg at one to two day intervals. To learn more about what can be expected in the days ahead, viewers can refer to falcon postings dating back to late 2001.
It is furry interesting how they both take khare of their 'kids' - in fakht, the female is akhtually a bit larger than the males. This will khome in handy when more food is needed as the eyasses grow...Mom khan fly farther and bring more bakhk from 'the store'
******
Any new readers to Khyra's Khorner are welkhome to go bakhk to last spring's arkhives and see the pikhs of last year's brood! We will do our best to entertain and inform THIS year too!
Khome on bakhk tomorrow fur a different kind of Walkin' Wednesday!
