Five Eggs for Mariah & Kaver

Mariah and Kaver, the Peregrine Falcons over at the Rochester Falconcam, are currently brooding five eggs. Mariah laid the last egg on April 7th. Calculations put the eggs hatching right around Mother's Day. Last year Mariah also laid five eggs, but one egg mysteriously disappeared from the scrape sometime during incubation. Four eggs were hatched and all four eyases successfully fledged. Check out the Falconcam's blog, Imprints, to learn all about Mariah & Kaver and to read updates on chicks hatched in previous years. Some of them are stars of their own cams! And remember, a full 30% of all Birdorable Mariah & Kaver retail sales will be donated to the Rochester Falconcam.
