Princess is standing and hovering over the eggs.  She is cocking her head at times, appearing to listen to them.  Now she has covered them all. :)

Saw a bird on the Hydro sign today, looked like him, but can't be sure.

Not sure if she's up listening to chicks hatching or just up to regulate temperatures better.  Because the box faces west, it can get warm in there for a big black bird who can't leave her babies .... the test will be if she is up/down as often once their is more shade in the box ... 

Ran through the recordings for the last couple of hours and couldn't see any pips or cracks but the westering sun means that the lighting in the box is not optimal so it would be easy to miss something small ...

It's always so funny to watch them try to tuck the 4th one in.  ;D

I think Mom is talking to the eggs a moment ago, she was looking down at the eggs and her beak was a moving!

:) She is giving last minute instructions on how to be a phantastic hatchling!!!  The chicks peep and so I think that Princess is talking to her brood-to-be!  She cocks her head and listens too.  What a good mother she is already!! :D

 ::) Princess, from mother to mother, childbirth is stressful, however, from me to you, done that, been there! Will all hatch before Sunday, Mother's Day? TPC, I have been wanting to ask you, how many chicks has Princess had, as well, how many has fledged? ??? ???

 ::) Watching Princess rearranging stones around the nest. Goes to the eggs, then back to housekeeping. Over and over. Me thinks, tonight's the night. This feels phantastic. Will we have a little Royal tonight? ;D ;D
