Last night Princess was talking a lot between 3:25 - 3:37 am, but it was dark - then the cam froze and came on again at 3:45 am and quickly off at 3:50 am. I didn't listen after that, but I meant to mention that Princess might have welcomed her 2nd chick around 3:25 am today. 

I checked the recording of the skycam and it was a midnight meal.  Smiley came in with food, then left.  Princess chased after him then returned and fed the chicks.  Then she took off again and he came in to hang out with the chicks until 0511h.

Smiley seems to be chowing down on leftovers and the chicks are in the sun...

The camera froze after only a minute. Maybe Toronto CBC wasn't expecting this much traffic ???

Started to watch the video and it stalled at 49 sec., tried again, same thing, finally I moved the bar over that bit and then everything was great.
They are so teeny, fluffy and precious.
Wonder how many chicks Princess has fed over the years...

Congratulations on the 2nd and 3rd hatch!  :-*

Thank you so much for your videos TPC. I'm happy to see things moving along well for Princess, and that Smiley is very helpful.

Cam only plays about 10% of the time, but it's still so nice to see them.

Love it when she settles in and half closes her eyes.
She seems so contented.

I agree, bcbird!  I was fortunate that there was no freezing so I could enjoy almost the entire thing - it's a beautiful thing to see and I do love the gentle sounds that Princess makes!  Such a good mom.  Three healthy chicks so far.  Oh happy day!!

Has Princess had much to eat since hatching started? 
Will she stay full time on the chicks and eggs until all are hatched?

What a privilege to watch the amazing sight of three little ones being fed.  The sounds of encouragement made by Princess are fascinating to hear.  At one point she had a great mouthful and chowed it down and looked at the camera as if to say, A mother gets hungry, all right.  Then, back to patiently feeding little bits to each waiting mouth. How wonderful to see all this again after last years absence.

Maybe if he brings food next time....

He paid attention bcbird - didn't get to feed them but brought food and now Princess is giving us a PERFECT view of the chicks.
Will grab a video of it when they are done and post it here for those who miss it because RL is interfering  ;)
