McKenzie Seeds - 2011 / Brooklyn & Hurricane

[Ellie]

Shift change.  Hurricane now on the nest.  Two babies look great and the egg is still an egg!

[Ellie]

Just missed a turn and shuggle but see white fluff at her breast.  Hopefully the other hatch will take place while there is decent weather happening.

I only get to see the camera occassionally, but I also thought something wasn't right.  Poor little thing   But as Ellie said, we do currently have two healthy chicks to concentrate on.

[BirdLover]

I just caught that too. 

[Baffled]

Shift change, and it does appear that one of the chicks is not moving at all. Still, squirmy sibling and still one egg to go gives hope.

[BirdLover]

Unfortunately, I too had a suspicion that something was not right.  Perhaps the hatch was a tough one, or perhaps the weather contributed.  We shall never know.

But, we do seem to have two healthy chicks and hopefully one more on the way.

[Ellie]

Still looks quite windy in Brandon but at least the sun is out a bit this morning.  Can actually see a shadow in the box.

[Ellie]

Oh no!  What a shame. Guess all this awful weather has had something to do with it all. Will keep checking to see when the next feed might be and watch for the last hatch.

[RCF]

I have good news and sad news.  I guess we had three hatches since yesterday morning and I saw a feeding this morning for two looked like healthy chicks. I could see one laying motionless beside it's siblings. I had a feeling since yesterday that something wasn't right, because every time Hurricane allowed me to see under her I couldn't see the chick moving and I never did see the first chick get a feeding. 

Feeding

[Ellie]

It is dark now so can't see what is going on at the nest but at least there appears to be a picture of the nest in very gray tone.  It is working and would be able to see it if it were day time.  Thanks!

Question: I see Brooklyn eating another shell, do we have a third chick  

I'm pretty sure the shell was from the second hatch. I think it was Hurricane and she had the shell in her mouth,then I watched her shove it back underneath her.

[RCF]

Can't see anything, looks like condensation in the cam again. I guess we won't know anymore till morning.

Question: I see Brooklyn eating another shell, do we have a third chick  

I can't leave my screen for a minute, see what happens  

Welcome to a rainy world little ones, I see flashes of lightning

[Pam]

After all the time rcf and rose have put into watching these birds, this cam is a great thing for them. They actually got to see a hatch in progress. So thrilled for you two.

I'm thrilled for us too!  It sure is different than watching from a block and a 1/2 away through binoculars. I like it!!  

Good for you - it is different for sure!
