The Aviary web page was not updated with “2nd egg” because by the time it would have been announced, Tasha was gone and Dori was in her place (that happened on Mar 20).

One of the old eggs is very red-brown, the other has white blotches. They were each that color from the start. Incubation is unlikely to affect their color that dramatically. Here’s more information on peregrine egg color: http://www.wqed.org/birdblog/peregrine-faqs/question-why-are-the-eggs-red/

I had noticed this phenomenon for a few days now. Are they discolored because they are not being incubated correctly?
