What a great dad and so sad to read this!

Meet the latest member of the Tiger family as of tonight.
From Alessondra's video announcement, ran just before revealing the nest with the new baby owl on Friday night:
"I hope you're enjoying Season 5, and all of its crazy twists and surprises. Tonight, I come to you with perhaps what will be the biggest surprise yet.
As you know, we added to the Click Family last May with the adoption of my baby brother, Xavier. The experience was beautiful for all of us. So much so, we've decided to adopt again, and we wanted you to be the first to know!
My Mom just brought the new addition home tonight, and the baby is just a few weeks old. We aren't sure yet of the gender...and perhaps we never will be. That's because the new addition isn't to OUR family, it's to the Tiger family!
That's right, Mr. Tiger and Altera are adopting!
One of our go-to resources is WildCareOklahoma. They recently rescued a baby owl that was discovered among some trees that were being cleared in a suburb of OKC. This owl is right behind Primo & Secundo in age, so they have asked us to consider transplanting it into our nest given that Mr. Tiger is a great hunter and is experienced in providing for more than two kids.
This is its best chance to remain in the wild.
As we always do when faced with an important decision behind the scenes here at the OKC Owl Cam, we've consulted with our other trusted Owl advisors. Because we all agree that the conditions are right to help restore this baby to its rightful place in the wild, and because my family are strong believers in adoption, we believe this is the right thing to do.
We think you'll agree that this is yet another huge, but truly poetic twist to Season 5!
I know you'll likely have a ton of questions and concerns for what this means both for the Tiger Family and baby owl. Know that we are working with experienced professionals behind the scenes who are monitoring and advising every step of this process.
On Monday night at 8:30 nest time, I invite you to join my parents and me for our next episode of "Who & A", where we will be fielding your questions. Our trusted and knowledgeable chat moderators are available to provide more information in chat in the meantime.
This new little owl has been through a lot in the past two weeks, having lost its original family and home. I hope you will join me in giving it the warmest of welcomes, the sincerest of prayers, and your most genuine regard as an equal and deserving member of the distinguished Tiger family.
Alessondra, out."

and then there were three!!

Charity and Mintaka now have four eggs! 

Sweet!! 

Reported on BCAW that a deceased Peregrine is in the Indy box..no ID yet but maybe Kathy Q. 

OMG......how awful and so sad!!!   

Abstract
Nest collapse has been documented in many bird species, with little discussion of adult behavior following collapse. We present evidence of a partial collapse of a Gyrfalcon (Falco rusticolus) nest during the nestling period and the subsequent adult response. A nest camera captured the nest collapse and showed one adult Gyrfalcon holding a live nestling in its beak before leaving the nest. Later, we found the surviving nestling alive in an alternate nest 5 m from the original nest, presumably transported there by the adult. We believe this is the first report of an adult Gyrfalcon moving a nestling to a new location following nest disturbance. We place this observation into a context of Gyrfalcon nesting behavior described in published sources. The continued use of nest cameras may provide additional documentation and insight into this behavior and its prevalence in birds.

First egg for Ralphie and Alice, sometime early this morning but she won't move off so we could see.  Ralphie came in at 6.10 am when I was watching before work with food and she refused to leave.

I love the name Ralphie!!    YAY

This mum is looking a bit rugged and I think she is working on another  egg!

 

No cam link as of yet but they installed a camera set up yesterday while the female was sitting on 4 eggs! I guess disturbing them is no biggie!

I have some amazing news to share!!!
Isabella (band confirmed) is sitting on four beautiful eggs!! How do I know this, you ask?
Well that's the other part of my amazing news!!
GM has graciously agreed to add a camera to the nest site!!! It's probably due to my incessant begging, but, WE GOT IT!!! Today, myself, Paul Lenney (our nest builder), Dave (our camera expert/builder) and Harris, installed an EarthCam camera. It's beautiful <3.
Of course, the installation had to go very quickly because poor Isabella was not happy about having to leave her eggs. But, she got right back on them after we finished.
Now, here's the catch. We still have yet to install the separate Comcast network so that the camera will stream (GM didn't want it streaming on their network). This will probably happen over the next couple of weeks, but very likely to be done prior to hatch.
Please be assured that you will be THE FIRST TO KNOW when it's up and running.
Keep in mind that the building is now completely refurbished, which means there's a LOT of people working here now and it's very busy. Other than our scheduled get-together, they won't want you stopping in the parking lot and taking pictures. You'll be better off across the street at the Comerica building, where you'll have a better vantage point to the nest. We do still need to confirm the band numbers on General Brock, so send me some pictures!!

She seems at ease and is resting. I don't know if Cadence left the area or is taking a day or two herself to heal and have another go at it! Every morning I get nervous, wondering what today will bring!!

Just saw on TV: NY City has the most nesting Peregrine Falcons.....David Attenborough said! Been there for 40 years!!

Yes, male has been around, don't know anything about him!!

http://youtu.be/bji54sncEZY from last Saturday when the resident female was attacked twice in the chest by Cadence.

Quest just a few ago and no eggs yet!!

She looks worn out and sad, though.   

Her eyes tell the whole story!
