Carla laid her fourth egg on the Cathedral of Finding out at 10:25a this morning, 56.4 hours after Egg#3. Maximum folks didn’t comprehend it took place. Because of Laurie Kotchey’s sharp eyes and her touch upon my weblog, I knew to start out searching for Egg#4 after I were given house at 11:30a.
The video underneath displays the egg-laying second, sped as much as double-time, however you received’t see the egg itself as a result of Carla is dealing with the digital camera. As an alternative, watch her conduct. She sooner or later stands tall, opens her beak and issues it upward. Watch for the instant when she bows down and raises her tail as she lays the egg.
I imagine that is Carla’s final egg for the yr as a result of she has already began incubation. Extra about incubation in an upcoming article.
