I think #4 hatched between 11-12 a.m. today!  I watched the archived feed and it sure looks like half the shell with a little one laying there, as mom was reshuffling.

Looks like three have hatched this morning.  One more to go. 

The Lady and Laddie now have three eggs!

Looks like a Red-shouldered hawk to me.  http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/red-shouldered_hawk/id

I've been watching Dorothy for a bit this afternoon, and she does seem a little off the norm.  Bless her heart, she's a beautiful Peregrine.  She is just standing over the egg and snoozing. 

Hera and Mintaka now have 4 eggs.  I wasn't quick enough to catch a screen shot tho.

They are up to 3 eggs today!

Eggcellent nest choice - the east box with the cover!

Sad - remains found of 2013 hatch Blue YZ.  http://blogs.scottishwildlifetrust.org.uk/osprey/2014/02/24/sad-news-of-blue-yz-confirmed-24th-feb/

Rosetta and Voyager, to Baron after his return:  What's with the 'tude, bro?

Looks like Baron has learned the proper cam perches from Beauty!  The upcoming flight lessons with DC and Beauty should be amazing to observe.  I think the watchers are in for a treat this year!

Looking good!   

Osprey diary, posted June 1, 2013 by Ranger Emma:

After such a long and anxious wait , we finally have an osprey chick safely hatched at Loch of the lowes.
 
About 8.45am our wildlife Interpretation officer Val Gall and volunteer Rebbecca spotted the first signs in one of the eggs. This tiny hole and subsequent crack progressed remarkable quickly to a full hatching. The top came off the egg, and by about 10am the chick was free of the egg shell.
 
The male brought in a fish around 11.30am but the chick is yet to have its first meal ( this is normal as it still has some yolk internally to sustain it.)
 
More news soon.
 
champagne being cracked!
 
Update 4pm:
 
Celebrations all round here, with staff, volunteers and visitors alike glued to the sight of our first Osprey chick of 2013 here at Loch of the Lowes. We hope it might be joined in time by another sibling, but for now we are simply overjoyed with one healthy youngster on the nest.
 
We think this is probably egg number 3 hatching  ‘on time’, rather than egg number 2 being ‘late’, but as the eggs are so hard to tell apart, we will have to wait and see if any of the others hatch to be sure.
 
The chick has already been fed twice by its mother , tiny amounts of shredded raw fish- you can see the female has stashed some fish , tucking it under her whilst incubating , to ensure there is plenty available to give the chick ‘little and often’  meals.
 
 The chick looks strong and healthy, with its instinct to reach up for food just as it should be. It is absolutely normal for new hatched chicks to find it difficult to lift their heads up (weak neck muscles) and have poor balance.
 
 Thank-you to everyone who has called, emailed and tweeted- its lovely to know so many people worldwide are sharing our excitement and joy at this wee ones arrival. It’s the birds who deserve the congratulations though- especially our remarkable veteran female, who has done it again!

I looked at the Earthcam archive - little one was barely alive around midday Monday.  It was no longer breathing around 5:00 pm.  And yes, the archive from this morning shows the adult (might have been Mintaka) using the dead one as food for the other 4.  Quite disturbing, to say the least.  After thinking all day about it, Peregrines do feed on birds, so maybe it makes sense in the bird world.  I sure hope there's no danger to the others from this one - maybe it was just too weak to survive.  I assume they'll check the 4 closely at banding.

It appears that one of the five has not survived.  It is lying in the nestbox and not breathing or moving. 

Exciting news from Michigan!  She looks like she's daring anyone to board up this new nest site.  Many thanks to Joyce and Barb for finding Ihteram again!
