Monday, 11 March 2019:

This afternoon at about 5:22pm Hope, the female peregrine falcon at the Cathedral of Learning, laid her first egg of the season.

Here she is in two snapshots, above and below.

Every year she lays an egg approximately every other day until she reaches a total of four. Expect her next egg on March 13.

Watch her on the National Aviary falconcam.

  1. I see today 3/13 at 1:05 pm hope is sitting on the egg (or the egg is gone). Does that mean she is done laying?

  2. How uplifting it is to see the brave and capable Hope reach out to continue her family tree, knowledge of which is imprinted in her cranial lobes and empowers her babies, in part, to survive. Thanks, will follow.

  3. Hoping for a successful year for the nest. All of Hope’s offspring are such beautiful peregrine falcons.
