11.57 am - Dad on eggs, vocalizing a bit...

12.00 pm - no one else in sight.  That piece of wood holding up the igloo is dangerous, she wiped right out on it when she came in ..she was going so fast, it scared the heck out of me.  It's getting more warped as time goes on...imagine a baby falling off there.

12.27 pm and he is vocalizing and looking around...wish she'd come back so we'd know she is okay.    He's still vocalizing now on and off.

And in and out again and back up onto platform and now male is in yelling, inside igloo...what the heck is going on!

And he's going to eggs....someone flew by the ledge fast!

uh oh Trouble!!  Cadence just came in and fell off the platform, ran into the nest box and then back out and jumped up on the second level..and she's into the igloo yelling...!!!

And back out again...something is going on!

She sure did!  In theory, if he didn't have those eggs from before - he would be attending to her every whim and she wouldn't have to beg for food or attention.  So you can't blame her for being aggressive, she needs to be fed regularly now that she's starting to produce eggs - it's going to take all her energy and she needs fuel!

9.11 and dad flies in and runs into the igloo looking behind him.  Cadence is on his tail and also runs into the igloo...conversation going on ...and he is run out..      I saw that coming and out she goes now, demanding breakfast maybe?  Sheesh..

8.50 am and she's gone.

New blog by Kate with a warning:

Caution!  Don’t watch the eggs hatch at the Cathedral of Learning if it upsets you to see a mother kill her young.  Again, we don’t know if Hope will do this, but she might.

7.43 am and at work now.  Cady sleeping in the igloo by eggs.

5.30 am and no one in igloo, still 2 eggs.

6.06 am and dad arrives and is into the igloo to settle on eggs.

6.09 am and Cadence just landed on the railing.  She seems to have a lot to say as well  

6.15 am and she goes down to the igloo and moves in.  And dad is out!  Have to power down and ready for work now...hopefully an egg today, maybe ? 

Been waiting all day for stuck cam to refresh and finally it has!

Say hello to the first 2 Canadian hatches - MEC Mississauga!

Yes she made a big scrape there where she is standing, I saw her working on it the last few nights...she kept expanding it 

Uh oh dad is back...poor guy doesn't know what to do with himself.  He flew out and then back in and peeked at her and back out again.  Go hunt dad, soon hopefully you'll have another egg to keep warm.

6.08 pm and another stand off.  I guess she wants back in and he's gathering his eggs closer...  and in she goes...and he's out..lol   

I just her tail flip up and down ...she must be eating down there out of view.

and look at that sneaky bugger, flew in and ran right onto the eggs.  I bet he brought her food just to get her out there 

I was cranky too when I was ready!!
