Thanks for doing this Tracy and the other view is a bonus. ;D

You are welcome  :)

Thanks for the video's.  Poor Smiley.  He only wants to do his fair share and Princess won't let him.

Princess is off the chicks and eggs and having a snack from one of the carcasses. the kids are asleep.
Oops, not a carcass, the great provider brought a tender morsel for the kids and they are devouring it.

Some rumbling and grumbling of thunder right now. Rain in the south east end and the clouds are moving that way. Lots of sunshine in the north west.
Downtown is dry.

The broken egg is moving...

Nope, I take that back.  Sorry for the false alarm.

In past years, Princess seems to have discarded an unviable egg, quite early on.

TPC, do you think she hears chicks in the shell? Is that why she is still brooding them?

The sun is shining downtown but there's lots of loud thunder!  Sounds like a storm coming. 

With a storm coming, it's so good to know that Princess and Smiley were smart enough to choose the nest box -- that little roof makes such a difference!

...I think that is a hole in the egg - and likely the hole that Princess was playing with earlier this morning - will have to see if that is the start of another chick or a damaged egg ...

It does look to me like a hole in the 3rd egg. So we'll just have to wait & see, I guess.

For the past few feedings, Princess has not flown away with the carcass. I guess she's figured out that when she leaves Smiley moves in for a turn with the kids.   ::)
That is going to be one smelly nest box.

TPC, would she know by now (this far along) if that egg isn't viable?  I see she's still tucking it under.

It's all good. It's back up and eating again. It is not easy, being a baby peregrine falcon.  ;D
