I have a 2-minute video from around noon showing the chick working away: :vid: Hatch in Progress (2 min) I'm going to send it to David and Myles to see if they have any comments on what we're seeing. This is not looking like most other hatches I've watched, but nature is amazingly adaptive, and I ha...

Nice feeding for both chicks although the dive-bombing crows were a bit disruptive. They are very fast - mostly blurs in the 2nd and 3rd s'caps. I'm not sure, but it looked as if they might be swiping at the adult as they went by.

Thanks for zooming, Sandy! A couple of pictures of the hatch in progress. 20240503_007.jpg 20240503_008.jpg My husband suggested that the flies might help the chick - and it occurs to me (only partly joking) that if I were that chick, I'd want to get out of that shell so I could snap at those flies!...

Thanks, Sandy - logging out now.

I'll be back in a minute to add s'caps from my recent peek at the chick.

Added -

The chick was very active, pushing away at the shell.

Brit was up to turn the egg at 10:29 am, and I got a couple of s'caps of the egg. 20240503_002.jpg 20240503_003.jpg Hard to be sure, but it looks to me as if the cracked area is getting larger. It also looks as if the shell is cracking and coming off the membrane, which isn't something I remember no...

Cam is moving, so I logged out. Time for lunch, so I'm glad someone else is available.

Added - 9 am
Is anyone logged in? I'll go back in if no one else is using the cam - adult is looking restless, as if he might stand up.


9:02 am
I am back in on North

8:26 am I'm at the computer and can log into North if no one else is available - my reaction time is slower, but I'll try to zoom in if he gives us a look. Logging in on North And he was up and back down before I could bring the cam up, and there wasn't much to see - egg was positioned to hide much ...

8:08 am Boundary Bay cams are still down - I've sent an email to to Michael and Ken asking if there's any update. Stream for White Rock North is lagging (I thought it was frozen but am now seeing movement) and stream for Mission East is unavailable. I've sent a separate email to Michael and Ken abou...

Hi Judy. I just got back home so will check the rollback for you. Looks like we have a change of the guard. We did indeed - I just added to my post. Happy to log out of North if you'd like/are willing to take over the cams - looks as if the Boundary Bay cams are coming back online, so I should chec...

2:30 pm Logging in on North Added - Dad Rey arrived with a very large stick - he may have decided that if there's a hatch underway, the nest rails should be a bit higher! :love: 20240502_013.jpg After he bumped into Mom Brit a few times while trying to find the perfect place for his stick, she decid...
