Nope, sorry, it's Beauty.  All that white pooh makes it confusing!

Late lunch has arrived.  Archer, I think.

Beauty's doing some interpretive dancing.

Good wingercises!

Regarding the smoke seen on Cam 1:

The Cottonwood trees in Rochester are in full seed-release mode right now.  These trees release their seeds in little cotton-like puffs, and you would not believe how much they fill the air.  Some days, you would swear it was snowing, and yards can be completely filled with white fluff.

So, there's a good chance that that smoke could be a seed fluff stuck to the camera lens.

There's the fuzzball 

How loud is the hatching process?  I'm listen to the video stream right now, and every 10 seconds or so, I'll hear this "tap, tap, tap"..."tap, tap".  Could the pipping be heard on the camera, even with Beauty covering the eggs?

A short but fierce thunderstorm, complete with hail, blew through around 10:30AM.


Archer hearing the storm approaching:



Beauty puffing up against the storm:


Looks like Beauty kicked Archer out just as the storm was starting. 

Whether he is covering all the eggs or not, he is doing a good job of hiding it from the cameras. 

Looks like Archer is getting the hang of covering all 3 eggs.

...or is that Beauty now?  I think the Main Cam lagged on me.

...and it looks like Beauty's on the ledge, under the main cam.   

 

Beauty is taking a snooze on the edge of the scrape.

Looks like it's Beauty in the nestbox.
