Nice picture of Beauty returning

Has anyone seen if the 4th egg hatched yet?  Haven't been watching as closely today...

I've only seen 3 so far Ei. If it hatched, it's out of view.

Thanks-I thought I caught a glimpse of shell among the eyases earlier, but it could have been a whole egg or half shell.  They're still sticking tight to them.

Can see but not all. RM left for a sec.

Beat me to it!  I think it may have been Tiago on them at first-Rhea Mae is back now...



Tiny beak peeking out...

I was just about to post this picture wondering if Archer saw Beauty coming


By the time I got to Now in the archive I had my answer!

Looks like the camera angle is pointing down more this morning...hopefully we'll be able to get a good beak count if Rhea Mae ever gets up!

Happy to report we find all four eyas being feed frequently and with great assistance from the Male. After scanning yesterdays archives we located  this pic with 4 very clear heads..

There's always a wrong-way-Corrigan!  Thanks!

Meanwhile, back in Rochester, Beauty is totally unimpressed by the news from Toronto 

Definitely 3!!!  Pic to follow...

3 little white heads & beaks!

Definitely 2!  

Is this morning's shell from one of them or is there a 3rd? Hopefully we'll get a peek later...Rhea Mae was right back on them!

Tiago brought a snack, but Rhea Mae's not moving...

I missed it-I was having my dinner too-hope they show themselves!

So silly me didn't think to look at my email before bed-here's 3 of Carol's captures of dinner being served.  Looks like 2 baby beaks to me!

          

Other opinions on beak count are welcome!

Looks like another egg shell top on the right side of the nestbox, but Rhea Mae's such a good Mom-she's keeping them covered up and warm.

When does everyone think they may/could be a hatch here?   

I'm going no closer than to say mid-May.
