Field Note Doug Bell April 6, 1988 dummy eggs in the scrape. He suggested we clean the roof of the pothole - also thought it best to take off the helmet before moving around in it, as it is easier to judge perspectives & not bump your head off the helmet off. Anyway - we picked up a mid-blue feather, a broken secondary tip from one of the falcons, some food pellets (this stuff all goes to Loryd Kiff of West. Found very cool for analysis). Then I set repelled down, & Matt climbed up. The scrape & ledge looked just beautiful w/ the 2 dummy eggs in the scrape. We were back at the trunk in no time to examine the eggs. Two of the eggs seemed to have small white pits, which Matt thinks is the first sign of a thin-shelled egg. One egg looked good. all three eggs were placed, air-cell up, in the portable incubator. By the way, no one down at Mark Boers house saw us - it was uninhabited, but Phil did check us out with binos as "we" were climbing over. So it was all quite nice! We drove back to the ranch house, showed Sam the "Easter" eggs - chatted then headed down the long road to get out. As we passed Goat Rock, it was about 9:10; we hiked down to the trees on the SE ridge and could see the falcon's head, sitting on her eggs on the scrape? Good news!
