5.38 am - Three babies.  DC brought food and of course he's eating some of it, B seems to be outmaneouvering him this morning though...DC gets a bite, baby gets one..but only one baby getting food.  He did give one of the kids one bite so far.  The wee one in back is toppling over...he's a wee one.  He's fallen over on his back now and no one has noticed and he's righted himself!  He's trying to get a bit with no luck so far.

5.42 and B leaves with food.

Feeding!  Beauty gave a lot of pieces to DC, for him to feed the eyases, but he ate most of the pieces himself.  

I missed the start of feed but the pieces she fed him at the end the kids couldn't eat, mostly feathers/grizzle from what I saw.  I was watching on the live feed for a bit.

It could be stranger...I was just outside here and Lucky and his new girlfriend were riding thermals together while Darcy incubates his eggs that are due to hatch any day.  Just when I thought I'd seen everything  

Two babies this morning~!!  Saw both clearly but she's too fast to get back down on them to get a screen capture.

Home just in time to see the hatch    Big trouble at my site, one year old sub-adult back second day in a row, making herself at home.  She reminds me of Chessie at Osler.  

Anyway ... congrats on baby and thanks to baby for waiting until I got home

Just saw the switch with DC out and B back in, did I just see a second pipped egg?  Was kind of fast so can't be sure.

I saw a slight discoloration on a second egg, but wasn't sure it looked like a hole.
Love how she closely checks each egg after DC gets up!

LOL...I noticed that too, like she's checking to make sure he didn't mess things up

Wouldn't surprise me at all NCA.  It would explain his lack of frequency here from time to time, even with 2 nests, and there are many floaters around who would love to take one of his sites.  We had a sub-adult at Bloor Issy today, one year old female flew right to the ledge while Darcy was on eggs.  Then a 25 minute aerial battle ensued and then they flew off with Lucky following and all 3 were gone for at least 30 minutes until finally our pair came back.  

Update from Betty Ann:

An update on 91/BA, our former resident female who was injured in an attack by the current female, "Frida". Raptor Trust, in Millington, NJ, where she is recovering from a broken wing bone, says she is "doing well" and will likely be released this summer once our eyases fledge. This is to avoid having her return to the nest site and engage in another potential battle.

DC back in at 6.33 pm - good to see a more reliable routine from him today.

DC finally came in at 5.36 am this morning.  I wonder if that other falcon isn't still around.

Looks great Shaky!  Finally home from work and can watch it!

Just an FYI - I am keeping in touch with Mathew and bugging him weekly to ask how Aria and Indy are doing.  I've nicknamed him 'Indy' as he wasn't named

Mathew says all is well and quiet, incubation continues and he will let us know when/if a hatch occurs. 

Beauty back from an almost 2 hour break. 

Thanks for your observations NCAFalcons.   I noticed today DC has been here several times already so that's good.  I figured something had his attention as he's not usually away from 'his' eggs for very long.
