??? I'm curious about the white egg. ???

What specifically about the white egg?  :)

I have often wondered if you have encountered a white egg prior to this egg. As they say about chicken eggs, white eggs...white chickens, brown eggs...brown chickens. LOL! Of course red/brown PF eggs.............. ;D

As of 1100h CDT, still 2 chicks and 2 eggs.  Watching how quiet Princess is this year, if she only had two chicks to take care of this year, I'd be happy.  Four is always fun, but these are her 39th and 40th chicks, she deserves to have a easy summer and Pip seems to be helping with that ... or at least he's made a good start.

Bally, I worry too, each year it seems like someone is not getting fed. But, I have noticed over time that they all thrive. Princess is very good at this. Plus, I think tpc once mentioned that peregrines are very good at feeding everyone. It isn't a competition for survival of the fittest as in some species.

Princess returned to take her place and Pip leaves. These two seem to a perfect match.  ;D

Right, definitely just 2 still - much more clear now!  :) - Just saw a feeding - the newest chick, try as he/she might did not get one bite  :'( - Kept falling over, couldn't get into the right position......seems there's always something to worry about.  :P

Hm - Looks like there might be THREE chickies now?? ;D ;D

Checked the recorder and not quite yet Bally - the wet chick you saw was chick number two drying out.  They are pink when they first come out of the shell and take an hour or more to dry out to fuzzy white.  Other two eggs - white and brown - were still under her on her spin about 1020h.

Yesterday Pip actually managed to get past the Gorgon Queen to hang out with his chick within 1 day!  I have to believe she's mellowing or he's a very good influence on her!

This was from mealtime this morning - couple/three hours before chick two arrived ..
