Second chick is definitely hatched but still in shell

Should be out pretty soon.

[JudyB]

My screenshots are similar.

6:07 am

6:09 am

I think we can't declare a hatch time until it's completely out of the shell - but it looked very close!

[SueB]

Cheryl thanks for taking the cams. Yes, I see the 2nd chick is still in the shell, correct?

[JudyB]

6:29 am
Too busy watching to get a screenshot, but tiny one's wings were working really hard as s/he tried to pull him/herself out of the shell - but not quite yet. Those tiny, tiny wings are so cute!

[Marg]

Got a look at the little ones.

[Marg]

Good morning everyone! Exciting!

[JudyB]

6:36 am
Adult is very vocal about something.

Ma continues to be very vocal. Ma could be hearing the workers down below.
Who knows.

[SueD]

Congratulations to Ma & Pa Delta!

6:51 a.m.: Got a brief peek.
6:56 a.m.: Second chick looks like it's still in half of the eggshell.

[JudyB]

6:52 am
Very brief look - lots of fluff and shell - don't think #2 is completely out yet.


6:56 am
Tiny one might be out - very hard to be sure, though.

[Kitcat11848]

Are the streaming cams working? I can’t find a link that seems to work.

[Sandy]

Delta 2

I believe the second chick is free from the egg shell.
Looks like it. Maybe someone else can confirm.



Sandy

[Cheryldavis]

I think no 2 is out of the shell

[Sandy]

I think no 2 is out of the shell

I think so too....



Sandy

[Cheryldavis]

I need a drink so will pop off and get one and leave the cams running as is!

[JudyB]

Sandy, Cheryl - I think that makes three of us who think the tiny one was out at 6:56 am - anyone else? Or anyone disagree?

Kitcat, link is https://www.hancockwildlife.org/delta-2-cams/ You can find it by going to the new website https://www.hancockwildlife.org - if you have a larger screen or viewing window, you'll see a Live Cams link in the menu bar at the top; on narrower screens, there are three blue lines on the upper right (sometimes called "the hamburger") that you can click to see the site index.

Kind of early to celebrate.....sorry I could not resist.

Sandy

[Cheryldavis]

I bet I just missed a shift change!

[JudyB]

7:05 am

Added - no shift change, Cheryl - and I'm guessing Dad isn't about to appear unless he has food.


7:09 am
I think I was wrong - he brought a lovely stick instead.

(Unless I missed something - I am doing two things at once)

Ma keeps looking down and positioning herself.
These two little ones are very active.

7:09 a.m.: Pa arrived to deliver some nesting material.

[Sandy]

Proud Pa arrives at the nest and of course moves a branch.
ma softly calling.

Thanks JudyB. I was there but for me the cams were down. Just went back and although it appeared they were down, I clicked anyway and got them. All the HWF cams have been acting a little weird lately.

[Cheryldavis]

Drink wasn't alcohol, though your comment was funny!

[SueB]

What a great morning! So happy to hear that the 2nd chick has arrived. Congratulations Ma & Pa! And Cheryl, thanks for zooming, Great Job! Let me know if you need a break and I can take over for a little bit.
Ma sitting pretty.

[SueB]

7:09 am - Yes Judy, Pa is so nice to bring so pretty things to the nest for Ma to help celebrate the new chick.

7:11 am - Pa flew off

[JudyB]

7:23 am
#2 is looking a little fluffier

[Cheryldavis]

I am off the cams now. Thank you Sandy, Judy and Sue for taking the pictures.

Sue is in command now!

[SueB]

Good Morning Delta 2 Viewers! I am in on the cams and did miss Ma getting up just before (7:22 am ) but have some s'caps of the cute little babies
