It was getting dark and one storm had just passed over when I went to Brandon this evening.  I was quite fortunate to see Brooklyn preparing some prey on the communications tower across from the nest box.  He took it to the nest box and Hurricane took it over to the tower across the street to prepare it some more.  She brought it back and fed their chicks.

Been a crazy morning, missed posting here after I posted on Twitter - RCF fortunately caught my miss!!  ;)

Great news - chick number 3 has hatched!  Probably yesterday, maybe even late on the 2nd since they are all about the same size/fluffiness according to the report I received.  Last egg looks to be fine.  More news when I have it - and will post here first, then twitter, so the news doesn't get waylaid!

:) So happy to hear about the hatching of the first 2 eggs for this season. In honour of the new chicks, a baby "shower" is happening here in Winnipeg.  ;)

Good one  ;D ;D ;D

Brandon beat Winnipeg this year.  Way to go Hurricane and Brooklyn.  :)

Sure helps speed things up when you "know" your partner.  Interestingly, Radisson, McKenzie Seeds and Logan all took the same length of time between appearance of both birds and onset of incubation = 23/24 days.  West Winnipeg took 30 days which is more what I would have expected for a new pair - Radisson and Logan were much faster than I would have expected.  Having said that, it is likely because Princess, Hurricane and Joli are experienced females despite two have new mates and knew what they wanted to do and when whereas this is Beatrix's first year nesting.
