This morning (March 17) around 11:15am sharp-eyed observers noticed that Dori had laid her fourth egg when Louie came for a bowing visit at the Gulf Tower.
Here they are discussing the fourth egg, no doubt.
But Dori is so tired that she forgot to pull it under her. Ooops! … Or maybe she’s letting this one dry.
Not to worry. This isn’t the first time an egg has been outside her “sphere.” When she was a first-time mother she sat like this for a few hours, then woke up and rearranged the eggs. They all hatched successfully.

Any updates on Dorothy and E2?
They are courting but no eggs yet. http://www.aviary.org/cons/FalconCam/Cathedral_refreshCam.html
Wonderful! Any idea when the archives will be available?
Donna, no news on Gulf archives yet.
Congrats, Dori & Louie! Hoping for 4 healthy fledglings.
If you get a chance could you comment on the polegamy in Rochester beauty,dc,piggot. I did know they did that.
Carol, about a year ago I wrote about the love triangle of Beauty, DotCa and Pigott in Rochester, NY: http://www.birdsoutsidemywindow.org/2013/04/08/now-what/
So far this year seems similar to last year for them. I’m hoping it will be a successful year for Beauty… must wait & see.
