I haven't been able to see them, since it's dark now in New Jersey, but there are chicks in the nest:
May 4, 2010: Hatching!
We have hatchlings at Jersey City! Early this morning, 6:20 AM, there was one chick getting what may have been its first meal! At that time there were still three eggs that the chick was nestled within. The mom spent most of the morning keeping the eggs and chick warm, and by noon it appeared that all the eggs had hatched. Eggshell remnants can be seen in the nest but are soon removed by the adult and some are eaten to replenish the mother’s calcium. The hatchlings are slightly pink and very small, but do lift themselves up a little to take brief feedings.
It’s an exciting time to see inside the nest. The adults are very careful around the young, both in feeding and brooding them, and the hatchlings are small but they grow fast. Stay tuned with us.
Alison:
Incubation continues, but it should not be long until the eggs begin to hatch. From the site:
April 30, 2010 - 8:15 p.m.
Thanks to staff in the state Information Technology Office we are again streaming live video - just in time for the hatching which is expected by Monday or Tuesday.
Alison:
The Jersey City pair have their first egg today!
