Somewhere over the course of the night, Mariah laid her second egg of the season. Some of you may have noticed by now: I get kind of obsessed over the falcons each year. But the way I see things, it’s just nice to know that somethings don’t ever change, even as they change every day.

To whit, the birth of falcons. Mariah is on track for her usual four eggs this year, it looks like. We got a bit concerned the other day because she came and sat on the nest twice, looking like she was going to lay another egg, and then left. But that’s what happens when you stare at the falcon cam too long: you obsess like it’s your falcon.
