Red-tailed Hawk - NYC / Bobby & Rosie
Cooper:
Bobby and Violet did know best! Baby hawk hatched this morning! Happy Mother's Day Violet!
allikat:
I have got the camera minimized on my computer, checking in periodically!
I keep wondering if the cam is actually working because Violet rarely/barely moves!
Anyway, she does, but it's watching paint dry but like watching!
Still nothing yet......
Cooper:
Watched for about 45 minutes, and finally got to see some action. Saw a parent trade off and witnessed three seemingly intact eggs. However, whoever the parent is that took over has been fussing for the last half hour. He/she took a piece of cardboard from underneath the eggs and spent some time repositioning it; pecking away and moving bits of twigs and other vegetation in the nest; repositioning the eggs; repositioning self. I'm guessing this is all in aid of temperature control. (Pure guess, but sounds good to me!)
As I understand hatching does create some heat, I'm taking this as a hopeful sign that something's going on, finally. Hope so!
Kinderchick:
Yes, I did read on the website where someone had posted that they thought a chick had hatched. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens.
Cooper:
As far as I know, none of the eggs have hatched yet and there is concern that they may not. I haven't been lucky enough to catch the parents off the eggs to see anything for myself (and I've checked in quite regularly). Most of the reports say there are three still uncracked eggs like birdcamfan saw. So it looks like the expert may have been a bit hasty (or the info provided to him/her was). Someone recently posted that they thought they saw something that might be chick peeking out from underneath, so there's still some hope things will go alright for the birds.
