Hurricane was shuggling about and shuggled one of her eggs right out from underneath her. It didn't take her very long to notice and under it went.

Brandon birds sure are getting wind blown as we speak, also.  Even though the wind has changed to give them protection.

Window cam is a bit drier so I have switched - will get drier and he image should "de-fog" a bit more ...

Rain has stopped and wind is blowing up to 60k's an hour but is mostly from the west north west so won't bother Hurricane much and will dry out the cameras? ;D

Can't tell if its still raining but the wind has definitely dropped and the birds are able to sleep unmolested at the moment.  It will be great to see them dozing in the sun tomorrow morning.

Still haven't seen any "listening" behaviour even though Hurricane is spending more time on the eggs now ...

...Hopefully the chicks will wait a bit longer before they decide to hatch out ...
When is the expected hatch date(s)? ???

We have four eggs in Brandon for Hurricane and Brooklyn!! 
Dan reports that when he checked on the birds on Sunday she was snowy but stuck like glue to her eggs (just like Princess at the Radisson).  Incubation is believed to have started on Friday and that the fourth egg was laid Saturday.  So we should see hatching start just after May 30th.

The Radisson birds were delayed by 3-4 days so could be today or could be as late as the weekend.

Looks like Brooklyn to by eye on the eggs at the moment ... tucked down very low so can't be sure but the lens has cleared off so now instead of being red and foggy its just red.

Rose and I think it's Brooklyn too. ;)
