This afternoon Carla got into position at the Cathedral of Learning to lay her second egg of the 2025 season. In the slideshow you see her standing upright with her tail down. After the egg is laid she tips up so her tail feathers don’t drag on the wet egg.

Ten minutes later the egg had dried and she was ready arrange them underneath her and go to sleep. This gave us a chance to see both eggs at once.
I expect her to lay four eggs as she did last year. The time between these first two eggs is a little shorter than the same eggs last year. I wonder if this quicker trend will continue.
Watch the Pitt peregrines on the National Aviary falconcam at the Cathedral of Learning.
Congratulations, Carla and Ecco from Mom and Dad (Moxie and Jamie) in Fort Wayne, IN
Congratulations to both of you and.
Every time I checked the webcam today, Carla was sitting on the eggs. Does it appear that she has started to incubate? Maybe three eggs this year?
They haven’t been incubating at night. We’ll just have to wait and see.
