I just saw two chicks moving on a shift change.  No feeding though.

And that's the difference between us and nature - It's wonderful to see Mary Ellen, comfortable, dry and relaxed with her two babies and I'm heartbroken, wishing that Princess could be doing the same thing.  Princess however, has no inkling of self-pity or feelings of hardship.  She just carries on, completely unaware of all of us cheering her on :-*

Princess has settled back to face the wind.  

At least she looks dry and is snoozing without exertion.

What an unfortunate loss - darn weather this year, it's been nasty to nature.
I always say, everything happens for a reason, even though this reason seems harsh, and Mother Nature has interesting ways about dealing with things...
Let's hope that this weather turns around and provides these hard working birds a much deserved break, and hope for the best.
To me, from a novice and non-expert, it's a positive thing that Princess continues to incubate those eggs.  She's an extremely experienced Mum and Falcon, so, time will tell, and Princess knows what's going on under that warm feathered breast of hers.   :)

I watched Elk River awhile too, Susha.

It is hard to see the contrasts, or think of the what ifs.

I've been watching the chicks on the Great River Energy site - they were due around the same time as ours and two healthy chicks have hatched over the last couple of days and are thriving in the dry nestbox :)

It's bittersweet to watch  :-* :'(

Princess must have lost so much body heat today, she was drenched most of the day - I hope the other 2 eggs weren't damaged by that, it seems so late for them to be hatching now - I guess we'll know more tomorrow.  :(

Thank goodness there isn't another chick to feed tonight.  Its hard enough watching Princess & Ivy cope with the discomfort of this weather without that yet too.
Crossing my fingers that there isn't another hatch til the morning sunshine.

I'm glad you got it working!

Just saw Princess getting blown onto her head with that horrible wind!  She just can't get a break >:(

It's working fine for me, Irenekl.  Have you tried a different search engine?  I've been using Google Chrome :)

Is the cam working for you Susha?  I can't get it to load for about an hour now.

Princess has just returned from her brief break and pulled the little dead chick under her with the eggs :'(

I just saw a shift change and noticed that one of the three eggs seemed to be off by itself and not under Princess.  When Ivy (?) went on the other two eggs, didn't look like he brought the other egg under him.  So, perhaps it wasn't viable after all.  Oh poo! :( :'(
