They had four befroe and then a put in a fifth foster one.

If it gets too crowded they go onto the roof below when they are older

So happy that the chicks are hatching here.  Glad Raddisson will have a few chicks this year.  Sure hope the fours one hatches.  Would be really nice to see that.  It will sure be crowded in the nest tho.

Thank you for posting the pictures Bev. And a BIG CHEER to skygirlblue for capturing all of this.

one of my recent  shots that shows one egg intact.

someone once asked , why cams. well 2 reasons.

 We get to learn the ins and outs of falcon life and gain a greater appreciation of them
and 2. what one person misses , someone else in a different time zone picks up.

Really wonderful when you think about it.(the cooperation between forums and people is just great.)
thank-you  everyone who caught this , either on pictures or just by comments. I was sleeping(Shame on you Radisson)
I am asking for color tape on the bands. Think I will get it. It will make it better for ID when they fledge. I will never know one from the other.
2 I could handle but 3 or 4. ? LOL

This is the times for now . May change a we bit when SGB rechecks later. But gives you a good idea.

Third hatch may be a bit sooner.

For some of the newer readers here....the female here, Radisson, is the offspring of Princess and Trey.  She had one chick last year at her first try.  It is wonderful news that she has 3 chicks this year (maybe even 4).  Princess and Trey's genes carry on.

I was asleep but htey informed me from BCATW
3 hatches so far. Dad came in after  first one right away and already brought mom food.
I posted the 2 eggs yesterday with the pips and now I am going to get picutres for you form other forum
I can see me running already

Sorry that you missed the hatches.  Radisson wasn't giving anyone much of a glimpse. It is great that someone captured pictures.  Congratulations and maybe you will have to go into training now, expecially with two nests to watch.

Go Radisson!     I am pretty sure that there are 3 chicks and possibly number 4 arriving.  Dad came to check again and mom moved.
