carly:
Yep just saw parent take off...she's waiting until later because she knows we all had errands and things to take of today and didn't want to miss any hatches ;)
Liz:
Four eggs, no chicks.
The Peregrine Chick:
Hatching can take awhile that is for sure. Too long however and the chick gets exhausted and doesn't make it out. She's and experienced mom so I'm sure she will "help" if needed. Haven't seen it myself but there are some reports of females that will give an egg taking awhile to hatch a bit of a roll to help the process along. I assume its intentional ...
Pchemist:
as I recall, from first pip to hatch can take quite a while 24 hours or more? And once they pip they can be heard so the parents definitely would know what was going on.
I think that is mom - if these are the same pair as last year she has speckles higher up on her chest and his is more white. But I didn't see the shift change so didn't see relative sizes.
LouLouBelle:
just watched the shift change and no sign of hatching yet.... he did have quite a time getting all 4 underneath..
