Hera has laid her fifth egg and both parents are taking their turn on the eggs. They have a routine switch time around 8:30 a.m. Zeus is usually the one on the eggs at that time. Pictured below is Zeus on the left and Hera on the right.

To the students in Texas:
The Woodmen Tower is 30 stories high. There are two falcon nests that are located on the building ledge on the 28th floor (the windows underneath the WOODMEN name.)
There are two nests on the 28th floor ledge. Both are located at the northeast corner of the building. The current nest on the east side. Another nest, which was used last year by Zeus and Hera, is around the corner on the north side.

A question from the students in TX watching along: We have learned that the Woodmen Tower is 30 stories high. Is the nest on the top of the tower, or on another floor? We are charting so would appreciate the information so we can have it correct!

Elsewhere on this blog someone has asked about "Twittering" about these birds. I don't know of anyone twittering, but I know the next best thing.
The Cleveland Falcon Forum has a thread about Hera and Zeus.
http://www.falconcam-cmnh.org/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?39998.60
The also have threads about other falcons all over the northern hemisphere, including one pair in Italy. In our fall you can follow a couple of nests in Australia. And they have threads about other species of wildlife.

Wow! It's amazing that Hera laid 5 eggs again! I hope they all make it this year and I hope the weather stays nice too. It is very exciting to watch the nest and I'm looking forward to when they all hatch, it will be crazy!
