What great news!  Let's think positively!!  Maybe they both got away.  After all, what kind of meal could those tiny babies make for a big bird?!?

That's a nice ready-for-two-new-eggs nest!!

According to the chat board, a fledgling has been visiting one of the other nests, so it's thought that there might have been one survivor from the attack on the nest a few days ago. :D Here's hoping.

Oh no! This is terrible news! It is awful to look at the nest in tatters. Web chat says it was a Coopers Hawk that snatched the chicks. They were only days away from fledging. I will not be able to share this news with my Kinderchicklets. They will be heart broken. :'(

A sad, sad day :'(  A bird attacked the nest yesterday and Mary Jo and Woody are gone.  Just tuned into a view of the nest in pieces.  The chat banner advises that Phoebe is repairing the nest.  How very tragic for this little family.  But of course, Phoebe carries on! :-*

Phoebe laid her 2nd egg this morning. The Kinderchicklets actually saw her laying it! Needless to say, they were very excited! 8)

And the second was hatched this morning! ;D

Yes! And their names are Sansa and Arya.  :D

Obviously someone is a fan of Game of Thrones judging by those names....

Sansa fledged this afternoon, using her sister as a launching pad, much like one of Phoebe's previous chicks did. LOL!  ;D
