dad has been on those eggs all day...  keeps rolling them around and I've seen a pip on one.  I keep hoping to catch a hatch...  but perhaps I'll just have to see a chick tomorrow.

I thought I saw a chick and 3 eggs, yes kitten or is that just a smudge and I want to see a wee head?  Nope maybe not.

Shift change! Still no chick but a possible pip on one egg (it's still sort of hard to see though).

During that shift change...pretty sure I saw a nice pip on the top of an egg.

Okay - I got a glimpse and definitely saw a pip and possibly saw more but can't be sure.  :)

tell me about it...with hopes, we'll have a hatch today. 
I'm going to be glued to my laptop all day or in some cases, it will be glued to me.  8)

And holy cow  :o
they want out...seems a bit louder today as you can hear even through that aweful wind.
I guess it's just plain windy and miserable everywhere, oh well except for where Pchemist is  ;)

it's sunny, currently 23C on its way to around 30C, humidity is 21% and dropping to probably 15% or less this afternoon, and winds are around 8kph from the south-southwest.  :)

actually, Elk River looks pretty nice today.  Sunny, not too breezy (and I imagine higher up it's breezier here too).  I just wish they'd HATCH ALREADY.   ::)

I was just comparing the wind noise on the cam to the howl that happens on the Radisson when the wind gets up, in comparison, we may never be able to put a microphone in our nestbox ...  :'(  ... would be much too loud to hear anything for much of the time ....
