Something that struck me as interesting ... see how fast the eggshell has been crumpled some ... the eggshells at West Winnipeg are perfectly intact even now, 4-6 days after hatching, but less than an 1/2 hour after hatching this eggshell looks crumpled, could just be that it was stomped on a few times under Hurricane but given how easily her second egg was damaged/destroyed, I'll be interested to see how the rest of the eggshells here fare ...

I'm going to try to catch the chick at 1220h - couldn't get bottom out of bottom half of egg and Hurricane just tucked entirely back under - think she rolled her eyes at her first-hatched  ::)  ;D

Wow! Thanks for those links RCF. What a lot of fascinating information. No excuse now not to know what's going on.  :)

Oops! Where did they go? Well thanks anyway, whereever they went. :)

Links are still there Cooper ... can you not find them?  Let me know, might be a refresh problem and a bit of maintenance might be required ...

Thanks TPC. They've returned! I left the site and came back to find them there. Don't know what happened to them before that. Perhaps I just wasn't seeing them.  :-\

Hurricane is flipping her head which couldn't have been an drip of rain on her head in the old box but since its not raining (thanks RCF!) and the roof is new, I think she has an irritating insect bugging her and because she can't leave, she has to live with the annoyance ... can't see the bug, so might be a mosquito? or flatfly or something equally small ...

Yes, the little no seeums (bugs) seem to annoy them when there is no wind.  ::)

the edge of the nestbox has been showing wet since the light came up this morning ... at the moment the edge appears to be drying some (in comparison with an hour ago) so there would appear to be a bit of a break at the moment ...

Hasn't rained in Brandon since 0500h, only 1ml in my rain gauge overnight and wind is from the south southwest, so maybe a good day for a hatch? :)

Quote from: Rose on June 09, 2013, 10:16
Just in case anyone thinks it's raining in Brandon, it's only water dripping off the roof gutters that are plugged, it will  drip like that for days. :)

It drips even after a week of no rain.  ;)

This may get moved to a different thread, but this is from Froona's website about hatching eggs. You may have to scroll down on the left hand side of the page and look for the word "Hatching"

http://www.falcoperegrinus.org/sv_kuikens_hatching-en.html

More on who Froona was at this link ~ http://www.species-at-risk.mb.ca/projects/pfrp/forum/programs/index.php/topic,693.msg12478.html#msg12478

If you look closely at he pipped egg in the video (make it full screen), you can see the chick moving inside the egg.  8)

That is so amazing, RCF!  Earliest viewing I've ever had of one of "our" chicks!  Thank-you for all of your photos and videos and captures.  You really do enrich the experience of watching and following the birds soooo much :-*
