I did see the little one get Mom's tail feathers in his/her face quite a few times while Mom was digging around in the corner! Still one baby and three eggs:

Trey, errr I mean mom was just on another of her cleaning frenzy's.  She dragged herself right off the eggs again and poor little chick got mom's behind in her face, then as she continued to chase the elusive dust bunny her feathers poked the wee one in the face!  I'm really liking this pair, entertaining mom, devoted dad...it's all good

Still 1 chick and 3 eggs this morning.  Cute little chick 

[Alison]

I think there is still just one chick, but didn't have a chance to check until late today. I'm still hoping for a second hatch, but not counting on it.

The noise is the waves crashing onto the shoreline.  Loud isn't it!?!

[Loriann]

what the heck is all the noise on this web cam?  are they having a thunderstorm there?  or is it water?  or wind?  it sounds like a nasty thunderstorm.

Parent just came in with food if anyone wants to catch a feeding 

[The Peregrine Chick]

I think by Monday that will pretty much be it, there usually isn't more than a 48 hour span between all eggs hatching but since it has been a long incubation it probably wouldn't hurt to give them on more day.

We are hoping TPC but it's been about 40 days now and nothing since this one hatched early Friday morning so not sure what chances are now of another hatch.  One does look like it has a pip in it but not sure if it's a real pip.

What do you think, how long can it reasonably go until we can say this is it?

[The Peregrine Chick]

Let's hope for a second chick, lone chicks get lonely and have this tendency (not always but often) to want to do things too fast.

[allikat]

Absolutely Carly and Bev.

This one chick, if it's only going to be one, will just get all the food and be strong.  Let's hope for a successful fledge 

[carly]

8:35 am feeding of #1 ongoing at the moment.  One of the eggs has looked like it had a pip for 2 days now but suspect it's more damage from all the rolling around in the early days.  Even if they only have the one and raise it to fledge then they will deem the nest successful I believe.

[bev.]

Well one is better than none. and now that the box is better they can have better year next year.

Lol..crazy mama is at it again.  She was so intent on something in the corner she dragged herself right off her chick again and the poor little chick was like 'hello???  mama???  She is so entertaining!

[carly]

3:51 pm EST and feeding of the lone chick taking place; he/she is going to be a big one 

I wonder if any of the others could hatch at this point? I don't see any pips but it's not easy to see either as it's a bit dim so not ruling anything out.
