I'm just assuming :P Angel and Marco tend to produce females with the odd boy thrown in every few years for good measure. I'd be excited if they had all males for a change!

She?

Excitement at Etobicoke: I was watching another feeding when mom suddenly dropped the food, started alarming and off she went. Three little heads all turned and looking like 'hey where did the food go ???'. So out to the front of the building I went and heard both alarming and saw them circling the condo roof tops - I thought the washers were done but apparently not as the rope is still there but on the opposite side now! But no sign of a human, they must have stepped out onto the roof and been dive bombed..lol! Both parents continued circling and diving for a few minutes, then dad flew to the top of our building and mom flew to the ledge but not into the nestbox. Finally dad was satisfied that whatever the threat was - it was taken care of for now and he flew to the ledge and is now standing guard as mom continued the feeding.

Thanks for the great update Carly. Nice to know that everything is going well for the 3 little ones.
I hope that the window washer went out and got himself a hard hat if he is planning on being on the condo today. ::)

Monday Morning update:
Angel and 3 fast growing eyases are enjoying a bit of sunshine this morning. The fourth egg is still beside the young however Angel no longer seems to be bothering to incubate it. I expect the next few days will see the egg pushed off to the side as the young no longer use it to lean on. Two feedings have occured already and Angel is now sitting with a chick pile in front of her enjoying the sun.
