Noord Brabant - 2011 / multiple cams

moka:
The stone owls have four eggs now. Over the past three days, the nest box has gotten dirtier and more cluttered.

Last year, after all their chicks hatched, they brought in and stored all sorts of tasty owl treats. Yuuuckkk! but the chicks were happy and well fed.

An update on these many cams:
Steenuil: The stone owls seem to have won the battle against the doves who still come around and sit outside the nest box. The are promptly chased away by the male. He is a good provider and brings mainly June bugs, worms, grubs, frogs, mice and voles. What was at one time a clean and tidy nest box is now littered with pellets thus attesting to the plentiful supply of food. She continues to brood.
Oehoe: The Eagle owl chicks are a male 956 grams (over 100 grams larger than expected) and a female1336 grams (over 100 grams larger than expected).They were sleeping together last night face to face with their beaks touching...cute.
Ooievaar: The chicks have grown a lot. The smallest one (which hatched last) died yesterday. As in previous years, it was consumed by the mother so as to not loose the nutritional value. The blog comments noted that this is expected and not surprising considering the large number of young they have to feed.
Boerenzwaluw: The barn swallows are still "dating" so to speak". No eggs yet.
Boomklever: The nuthatch has a large clutch of eggs but the number is not known as they are buried in nesting material; in this case, leaves. She often is seen digging the eggs up and bringing them to the surface to turn and warm. She is being supplied well with food from her mate. Food supply is a concern at this site due to changes in the forested area nearby.
If you go to these sites, be sure to check out the film clips that are posted beside the webcam view. The webmasters have a good sense of humor and post some funny and interesting clips.
Enjoy!

They hatched between the 23rd and the 28th.

Kinderchick:
Darn. I was hoping to see some of the storks hatch. :( Do you know how old the chicks are, bcf? When did they hatch? ???

An update:
Steenuil: The Stone Owl and the pigeons had a huge fight last night which sent the pigeon flying out the door. Many feathers were lost. It seemed that she'd had enough and set out to attack the pigeon. She seems very happy with herself now, hard incubating her 4 eggs. The film clip of 27/4 shows the violent confrontation. (Warning: it is quite violent)
Oehoe: The 2 Eagle owls are growing very fast and now resemble grey fuzzy cookie monsters strutting about the nest ledge. They were banded this morning and I am sure that their gender and weight will be posted on the site soon.
Ooievaar: The storks have had all 5 eggs hatch. They are still under the mom. When she stands, there is a gaggle of bobbing heads under her. All appears well so far.
Boerenzwaluw: The male barn swallow is easily defending his nest and has started to have an unbanded "girlfriend" visit. He allows her to enter the nest so things look good there.
Boomklever: The nuthatch has been laying eggs all week. The are buried in nesting material so it is not possible to count the number. They lay quite a number of eggs, usually 1 per day.
Slechtvalk: This pair of peregrines (Pa and S2) now have 3 of their 4 eggs hatched. They are tracked on a separate thread.
