Two eggs in Rosie and Bobby’s nest / Egg(s) at TSP? – March 29th, 2014

A fellow Hawk-watcher informed me that two eggs have reportedly been seen in Rosie and Bobby’s nest since March 10th. There is no word yet on if there may have been more eggs laid since then. I am not sure how reliable the date of the 10th is yet since the footage I had taken of Rosie and Bobby mating and spending quite a bit of time away from the nest was around 1:00PM on the 11th. So perhaps Rosie laid the eggs a little later on the 11th.

Rosie on a nest break / No Hawk cam this season – March 27th, 2014

I got to see and take video footage of Rosie on an hour and a half long break from the nest today. At one point she was harassed by a pair of Mockingbirds. She eventually relieved Bobby of his egg-warming duties. Try to watch the video in the HD setting if you are able (click on the YouTube icon at the bottom right of the video below and make your quality selection when at the new YouTube page).

In other news, I was informed (by a few reliable sources) there will not be a live webcast of the nest this year. If this spring’s young survive, they should hatch between April 4th and 10th (give or take a couple of days) but won’t be seen very well from the ground for another couple of weeks after that.
