Hamilton Community Peregrine Project (HCPP) Lead Monitor Audrey Gamble
advises that around 10:30AM yesterday, Saturday, March 30, 2008, the
first egg of 2008 was seen clearly in the Sheraton Hamilton Peregrine
Falcon nest. Peregrines typically lay two to four red-brown eggs at
alternate day intervals, so by Monday we will hope to see another. The
female, Madame X, has laid four eggs in the Sheraton nest each season
since she started her breeding career in 2001. The adults will share
the responsibility of incubating the eggs for 30 to
35 days.

The progress of the birds can be followed on the HCPP web cam at:
