Not sure if these are pips in the eggs, but they are definitely white spots on two eggs!!  8)  ;D 

Those three eggs are very dark so they could very well be pips RCF!  Want to say I look forward to seeing them hatch tomorrow (Sat) but the forecast is for 70% chance of rain and winds from the ESE - not as bad as E or ENE but it would be better if the chicks could just wait until Sunday.  Much as I like Hurricane and Brooklyn and as good as they are as parents (and they are good parents!), I sometimes get a little concerned with their habit of trading off shifts even right after the chicks hatch when it rains.  Maybe Hurricane will take a leaf out of her mother's book and stick like glue to her babes if they do hatch tomorrow and if it rains so they stay dry at such a young age.

Hatching anytime now! :D

I'm thinking the same thing. Seeing some shuggle, shuggle, shift. Talking to the eggs? Excitement builds.

Doesn't look like any pips yet, but I can only see this side of the eggs.  :)

Looks like it's warm in the nest this morning, Hurricane is panting.

Early shift change again this morning - Hurricane got off about 0452h then back on then Brooklyn relieved her at 0455h and is still there.  Eggs looked good from what I can see in the low light at that time.

So we are at day 31 and these eggs could be like Princess' and Ivy's and be a bit later than usual or be like Beau's and Jules' and be pretty much on target.  Would be nice to have some chicks hatching over the weekend so long as there is no danger of heavy rain!


forecast for today ... weekend weather will be a bit later just in case it improves

Day - Overcast. High of 21C. Winds less than 5 km/h.
Night - Partly cloudy. Low of 10C. Winds from the SE at 10 to 15 km/h.

I guess when there are things going on in their favourite place they do not like it.  In there mind that is all their property.

 Brooklyn has been off the eggs twice this morning (0848-0852 & 0951-1003) with no apparent reason why. 


1424h:Hurricane on the eggs now, also there have been workmen on the MTS tower all day, that might be part of the reason Brooklyn was on and off the eggs earlier. Both Hurricane and Brooklyn usually check things like that out and when there are chicks in the nest they can be quite vocal and you can hear them alarm calling on the mike.

Morning events ....

Shift change, Hurricane "off", Brooklyn "on" at 0449h.  Interestingly, like the Radisson adult on duty (Princess in this case), Brooklyn has been off the eggs twice this morning (0848-0852 & 0951-1003) with no apparent reason why.  Now both nestsites are in the morning sun and it is strong this morning so no harm would have come from the absences, just interesting that they should be displaying similar behaviours on the same morning. At time of posting, Brooklyn is still on the eggs.


... and weather forecast ....

Day - Mostly cloudy. High of 21C. Winds from the SW at 5 to 20 km/h.
Night - Partly cloudy with a chance of rain. Low of 9C. Winds from the SW at 10 to 15 km/h. Chance of rain 50%.
