RCF, is there something we have to do to be able to access the cam?  When I click on the link, the cam isn't there...When I tried to sign up for the newsletter, thinking that they must require a sign-up, it wouldn't let me... ???

2016 NESTING SEASON

From information at another forum they are pretty sure Mary Ellen and Brooklyn are the returning pair.  Plus they have an egg...... :)   

Here is the new link to the cam

Yes, the fifth egg is still there and still being included in the "shuggle" when the adults get all the chicks back under after a feeding. But it looks like it won't hatch.
Four is quite enough!

ps: they were playing with the cameras today and testing out the angle that looks front-on into the nestbox, preparing for when the chicks are older.

Thanks, RCF. All I ever see is big pile of white fluff under her, and I couldn't see the egg. Mary Ellen is going to be busy with her babies, not just feeding them but keeping them sheltered.  :)

It would have been cool to see five but I agree with RCF, 4 is a lot to feed and as they grow the box gets pretty crowded.

Does anyone know if the 5th egg hatched? I never seem to catch a shift change when checking on this nest.

No, there is still one egg. At this point I don't think it is going to hatch.   Four is plenty to feed.  ;)

I've noticed these past few days that when Mary Ellen returns to the chicks after a meal or shift change, she pauses and looks down at them for a while before shuffling over them. I wonder what her bird brain is thinking?

Just like the old woman in the shoe, who had so many children she didn't know what to do! :o

Probably wondering what she is going to do when the other one hatches.  That will be quite the crowd to try to keep under her.
