I am not sure. I guess I never do  that

Well our girl is very restless  now and constantly checking so I am wondering if things are happening. I may just be wishful but........
I would really love to see her have 2. she is used to the first eyas now so 2 would be nice. 

although we lost the female from last year I am glad that this girl has a connection to a site I watch.

She is fortunate to have a good male. someone asked about the male. 

He is 7 years old , was born in Edmonton and has been at this site since 2007(this is his 5th season here) sometimes you get good parents and then  lazy ones/  He has proved his worth and so they often try experimental things , like last year they put 2 fleglings at the site just when their own was ready to fledge. they did not put them in the nest box but around the site.  their fledges at their sites did not go well. the parents took them in and fed them also
So she is quite lucky to have him for her first clutch.

Quote from Ballywing (in previous thread):

Bev I totally agree!!! - The sad times are tough to bear,   - but as they say 'Life goes on' - watching babes grow and flourish and fledge, and seeing this new puffball life makes it all worth it to be a Phanatic!!!!

It is especially sweet that there is a connection to T and P. 
 
PS  How do you properly quote from a locked down thread?

New thread as the old one was getting long with all the links to photos (thanks for those Bev!).  Old thread is locked down so no worries that folks will get lost!

Enjoy watching Radisson and her babe(s)!

I am not sure if the egg pipped or not . I was not quick enough for a picture.

the young on is being well fed.

Thanks for the pictures Skygirl Blue

they were great. What a  vocal little fluff ball.

I just got home before the cam got really dark and it was a hard call to make about who was in the nest box . too hard for me to see

fingers crossed for tomorrow. the adult was still moving around until it got completely dark.

for me , to see the little ones make all the heartaches bearable.

Just got a look at the little one...I really can't tell if there is any pipping in the second egg...If I squint, I think I might, well sort of, maybe, see a pip...I really don't know.   ;D

I'm thrilled with the cam, too.  Mom is allowing us good peeks at the hatchling.
