Thank you, Dennis, for the additional photos. As I said in a post to TPC, she and you should collaborate in a book. You and she are so very incredible. Every photo, including the latest photos of the chicks, I, for one cannot stop saying ooh, wow! Again, Dennis, thank you, thank you TPC and yes, thank you to Eye-Spy, Larry.        GCG

Well, so much for my weather eye -- yes, it's raining. You must not have crossed your fingers, BCBird!

Sleeping pile of beauties....Pop on the small ariel again but can't see Princess at this end.

It looks to be brightening up there.  Rain finished?

According to Environment Canada, we're under a Severe Thunderstorm Watch right now but I was just out for lunch and it looked to me as though the clouds were breaking up. Cross your fingers!

Some stirring in the chick pile.  Time for lunch ?
I think it is Princess on guard on the left side of the edge.

The little critters aren't exactly beautiful, not like their parents, but they are definitely irresistable.

Lol Saoires! - That's for sure, at some stages - it's 'A Face that only a Parent could Love' - OR a Phanatic!!

Glad everything is going so  well here

And RAdisson could be as soon as today. she is really checking this morning

[Saoirse]

Aren't they great? I love the photo, Ballywing. The little critters aren't exactly beautiful, not like their parents, but they are definitely irresistable. Can hardly wait to get home and check out the cam! Until then, the updates are terrific.

Chickpile is getting higher & higher every day!

Some more shots of Ivy feeding the kids.

He's so funny to watch.  He was going to leave...twice....with leftovers and then thought otherwise and ate part of it himself and stuffed the rest in the kids.

Thank you for all the updates.  
I'm really impressed with Ivy and how he is with his chicks!  Way to go DAD!!!!

Babies in a pile and having a snooze.  My "mama done left me".  No doubt food will be arriving again soon.  Think I missed the answer to this but is it the new camera that has made our picture seem brighter than the other one?  Also seems to bring the picture a bit closer. Whatever it is....... so much better!

It's meal time.....again.     Think it's Ivy feeding them this time.
