Haven't seen a feeding yet, but just tuned in to see more eggshells.  Mom is fluffed out a lot and keeps talking to fluffies under her.  Can't see any sign of intact eggs, just fluffy white bits when she moves around.  Could it be that we have four babies? :)

Two fluffies!  Just saw them ;D ;D  Looks like they're waiting for a meal.  Dot did some kakking at someone and readjusted herself on her family - might be a feeding soon.

Definitely one little chick this morning, though Dot wouldn't stand up and let me get a good look - no matter how much I pleaded with her! Though when she was shuggling around I did manage to see one little one. Don't know if there was another or if it was just a piece of eggshell - if only she would stand up! Can't watch any more right now, have to get to church.

I can hear peeping, and I think I saw a pip.  Dot is all puffed up like a puffer fish, and she is really restless.

Not 100% sure but I think I might have seen a pip in one of the eggs. Mom sure is busy trying to get comfortable on those eggs.

It's the 18th and Dot is looking all fluffed out, talking to her toes (as TPC would say ;D)

Exciting, exciting!

Does anyone remember when these are due to hatch?  I've lost track.
Thanks


The site says around June 18th.

Dad is on the eggs; he is so very distinctive, with that black cap that covers his whole head, you can barely see his eyes.  Dot must have gone for her morning constitutional; I don't care where she goes, as long as she does not go missing in action.

It is wonderful to watch this site at night, when our falcon on the eggs is sleeping, the traffic in the background is muted, there are soft lights in the distance, and everything is peaceful.  What a perfect moment.

Oh, Elaine, he got a bit of a break while finding the new girlfriend.
That might explain the sparkle in his eye!
