Back down to one egg

April 16, 2014 - Port Colborne - ADM Mill

Doug Garbutt Reports:

Today at 10:30 am a banded male falcon was observed consuming one of the 2 eggs in the scrape here. I’m not sure if it was the resident male Bill, or another falcon. I can tell by the colour of the egg that it was the 3rd egg laid by Trillium (the 1st 2 laid were eaten). So the good news is that we still have 1 egg left (the 4th one laid) & she appears to be taking good care of it after the discouraging news of what has transpired today. Stay tuned.
