Night Jo AOYP With Sweet Eagle/Falcon Dreams

glo said...

That is a very tired bird I think AND if any of you have had time to read the forum over there or whatever, what is her source of food all this time etc. Does anyone say. .Yep you know me, I'm already worried about who is hungry LOL

NillaWafer said...

She is off the eggs i took apicture

glo said...

Looks like the Momsters are all as tired as Freida. It'll be tonight when we all go to bed LOL. back to the aquarium fo rme, About 20 min til done.

MITS said...

Boy, she came back fast.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I only saw 2 eggs, even doing a zoom on the pics!

MITS said...

Would just like to reach out and pat her on the head.

MITS said...

She usually starts to get active as we are winding down

NillaWafer said...

Sharon i zoomed in also sent you the picture i took and to me looks like the smallest egg is in front of the weeds..

glo said...

Oh No NOT a "smallest egg" LOL No problem we can handle it!!!

Done with the aquarium. Time to let the dogs out fo rthe last time. Will check back in in a few and see if anyone is still up and watching.

Mema Jo said...

I can only see 2 eggs clearly. I don't see anything that looks like a cracked egg.

Just Vicky said...

Mits got WAX!

Mema Jo said...

Really ZOOM in on those 2 good eggs BUT off to the right is something odd looking........ It sorta looks like a half egg with a chick - can you make out a little eye.......It is wierd looking & it looks 'square' not round. I think I am seeing things.

Just Vicky said...

Sure hope these eggs hatch soon so you'ALLs will have fuzz balls to watch!

MITS said...

Remember, Jo, she keeps turning them. There have been cracks on some of the pics.

NillaWafer said...

Good Lord Joellen what you drinkin tonight?lol A square eggs with amysterious eye...ROFLMAOOOOOOOOOOO

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I don't see where you are talking about, Mema Jo!

NillaWafer said...

LOL Jo u sniffin some of that wacky weed in your Oxygen?? I am tired and gettin silly i cant stop laughing...LMAO

MITS said...

Yes, thank you Vicky, it was a fluke. Jo, I do see what you are seeing. If, in fact, it is an egg could it have disengrated that much from the other day? All the eggs were basically the same size.

glo said...

LOL Well checkin to be sure I haven't missed anyting. Well lets say I haven't missed too much, unless square eggs with weird eyes is something LOL. Actually Jo when she was off the eggs I saw something kind of strange of to the righ too, but it didn't look square and I didn't see eyes Since I have been at the aquarium there is a chance that we saw two different times etc, and between us, yes we could have half a hatched chick . And then again we could both just be needing some sleep.

MITS said...

Ok, I'm smokin the same stuff as Jo...LOl!! I see what she is seeing, it is not the same size as the other eggs.

NillaWafer said...

No seriously Jo (laughing) wass that in the picture is sent you (laughing) Because i zoomed in as far as i could and looked around nd No square egg with a mysterious (rollin laughing now) in it...

Mema Jo said...

I wish I could get a bird's eye view!

Nite All.

glo said...

Good Night Jo.

NillaWafer said...

I am looking and looking and dont see anything like you both see..

MITS said...

LOL!!! Nilla, keep looking, it is to the right of the big eggs. I'm going to look again.

glo said...

Well good night you two and anyone else left lurking. Blog at you tomorrow. Night Mama falcon and little peepers whatever you are up to or look like.

NillaWafer said...

NillaWafer said...

Niters Glo now see the great mystery of the 1/2 egg and 1 eye ball will keep me up now..lollll

MITS said...

Ok, Frieda, you've got the best of me. Goodnight All. Talk to you tomorrow. I think it is just 2 weird looking stones, if I could just get a clearer picture when I zoom in, that would help CU!!!

MITS said...

LOUISE, I would never jerk your chain. Want to keep that BP on the good side.

NillaWafer said...

Bird Girl said...

jim the plant looks an awful lot like a lantana, which is of the verbena family. very popular landscaping plant here in phoenix.

re: being a "smartass" My motto in life is this: It's better to be a smartass than a dumbass.


no peregrine hatch yet, as far as i can tell... almost midnight here in phoenix, tired & sore so I'm going to bed now...

bird girl

wvgal_dana said...

It's time for me to say goodnite to all and to Freida and Fredo and 3 eggs maybe 1 with a raised notch in it...but nothing fuzzy at this time...
Please take good notes for me on Lun Lun tomorrow am....ty 3:30 am

Bird Girl said...

Here's some info on the hatching of peregrine eggs, which I found on a Cornell University website... I have edited out the scientific stuff and citations, etc. to make it easier to read....

HATCHING
Preliminary events and vocalizations

…[can] hear chick peeping inside egg before hatching began, becoming louder during hatch; initial pip [first hole] of shell occurred [more than] 72 [hours] before chick broke free completely. In artificially incubated eggs, 24–48 [hours] before pip, air cell in egg expands and starts extending down one side of egg toward narrow end; normally chick makes pip [hole] inside air cell. In 500 artificially incubated eggs of [peregrine falcons], mean time from pip to hatch was 47.8 [hours]… During this period, chick periodically works to break up area around initial pip but rests most of time.

Shell-breaking and emergence

Often chick creates an opening in break-up area around pip before final breaking open of shell begins; then, looked at from blunt end of egg, chick makes a counterclockwise turn inside shell, at same time breaking a line around circumference of egg near blunt end by thrusting egg tooth against shell. Chick turns intermittently, breaking a portion of shell with much vocalization, then rests, and turns again. This last stage of hatching takes 15–60 min. Artificially incubated eggs hatch most frequently [40%] during morning hours…between 06:00 and 12:00...

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good morning Suzanne. There were some busy bloggers on here last night. I guess no hatchlings as of yet. I do have some pics from Dana I am going to have to check out.

Anyway, starting to work now. Everybody make a good day. Remember, do random acts of kindness. Rewards are great!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I guess Falcon Frieda's Followers are all still fast asleep this morning.

glo said...

Dana, and Bird Girl

What a nice surprise to wake up and have a pretty good idea of what has happened with Freida while I slept. Dana after all that watching late into the night I really wish that little peeper had broken throughfor you to see. My guess is today is the day. They probably meant Sept 6 our time since Freida knows and they are catching on that there is a whole cheering section on a totally different continent from them.

Bird Girl Thanks for all that info about the incubation and actual events before the hatching. Add a lot of meaning to what we have been seeing and Freida has obviously been hearing.

Sleep in a while this morning ladies, we may need you again tonight...well ya know for eggs number 2 and 3. We'll be watching closely for number one today.

Good morning Suzanne and Sharon and anyone else who has come in, or is lurking since I started to read the bLOG and then leave my "little" message.

Just Vicky said...

Morning ladies! Still no baby??

glo said...

Hard to tell Vicky..cetainly could be ya know, but no not on "our"watch while anyone could see or keep there eyes open LOL.

Mauley said...

Morning All, Busy day at school. I havse to teach two whole classes today. I am so anxious for Frieda to get her babies. My hubby teaches chick incubation as a 4-H project for his club members. I enjoy it so much. Dana, HE MAKES SURE HE HAS HOMES FOR THE CHICKS BEFORE THEY HATCH> no child is ever allowed to take a chick home. Area chicken farmers (raise chickens just for eggs alone) get his newly hatched chicks directly from the classrooms. Hatched about 100 last year, and this year he has added another 14 incubators to the schools who participated last year. Plans on doing quail to release to wild. It will be a big task. God Bless You all today. gotta go teach Mauley

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

MITS said...

YUM!! Sitting here eating a nice fresh cranberry muffin, that my neigbor brought to me, Reminds me of vacations to Cape Cod and fresh cranberry muffins...
