Tomorrow, we enter the hatch window – marking 28 days of continuous incubation. However, I think we can expect the falcon eggs to begin hatching at 33 – 35 days, sometime in the middle of next week. Meanwhile, today started out very cold, with temperatures in the low 30’s! The falcons were careful to stay tight on the eggs all morning. The rest of the day they concentrated on doing quick incubation switches and defending the territory. Astrid was witnessed chasing after a Bald Eagle today.
