Still only three eggs & Princess is asleep on them at the moment.
Haven't seen Ivy for awhile ...

Smart bird, Ivy, to stay away from a hormonal two pound female that has to expulse those eggs. Keep her fed and keep your distance.

Is that look ever seen on Princess before an egg appears?

Dreamy, hmmm, nope.  This year she most certainly just looks constipated.  And yes, I'm anthropomorphizing, though probably not that inaccurate given that we are talking about the anatomical egress of eggs ... eggs the size of large chicken eggs ... from a bird that weighs about 2 pounds ... and three eggs in six days ... take a moment here folks to consider the human equivalent to this scenario  :o ...

Well now... ;D
I just knew you knew something! ;)

Sometime between 9pm and 5pm, Egg and Eggette finally got a sib, Egger!...
Egg #3! That's great news! :D

Apparently the Mississauga unidentified female has a characteristic appearance while contemplating her next egg to be laid.

Tracy Simpson Reports:

 I was pleasantly surprised to see that two eggs have already been laid and by the looks of her, all plump and dreamy, the third will be there tomorrow.

1630 hrs

Princess is on the eggs at the moment and she looks to really be enjoying the sun and lack of wind in the box (at the moment at least).  No sign yet whether or not there will be another egg.

Egg, Eggette & Egger are on their own again.  Think you-know-who was de-feathering her food nearby as there were white tuffs of fluffs floating past a couple of the cams.

Ivy is playing Mr Mom and is tucked down on the Tripleggets in a patch of sunshine.  Looks like the perfect spot to be this afternoon.
Could see no sign of Princess on the west side of the Hotel when I checked it out with the skycam.

Egg, Eggette and Egger are getting to know one another, might be a bit of sibling rivalry as Egger is hiding behind Eggette at the moment ... will have to watch that, not much room under Mom to start fighting ...

You just had to know the giggly impatience was lurking just under the surface....as the waiting begins.
