Mike, a minute ago she scooted out of the nest carrying something fairly substantial in her beak that she apparently deposited outside somewhere. Couldn't see what it was; could it have been the remains of the carcass she was feeding the chicks? Was she housecleaning?
Dinnertime's over; she's now settled down over the little beauties. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <authfriend@...> wrote : Oh, she's feeding them, right this instant! Hubby must have brought some grub. Shame there's no microphone; it would be fun to hear their peeps. They look like they're making quite a racket. Little pure white puffballs! http://www.pacast.com/players/falcon.asp http://www.pacast.com/players/falcon.asp Do take a look, folks. If she's still feeding them when you do, it's a real treat. There are two cameras that switch off, so if the view in which she has her back turned shows up first, just wait 15 seconds or so and you'll get a view looking right down on top of the chicks. Still one unhatched egg, though. One of the three chicks she's feeding must have come out of the shell I saw earlier. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <authfriend@...> wrote : Happy Easter Birthday for these chicks! Very appropriate timing. I looked a couple of times but haven't seen her feeding the chicks yet. For awhile there was what looked as though a whole egg had somehow rolled out from under her and was sitting at a little distance all by itself. I just looked now, and it's only a shell (half a shell, in fact). Is that what it was all along, and I was seeing it from the wrong angle? Or did the fourth chick hatch from it while I wasn't looking? Any idea how old she is? Is this her first batch of chicks, or is she more experienced? Where's Pop with the next food delivery? What has she been feeding the chicks with up till now? ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <mdixon.6569@...> wrote : Just checked the Falcon cam and three chicks have hatched and mother is feeding them!
