Bird Cams Around the World

On my way out ,running as usual ,
but thanks SGB for the video and picture. It was probably falling in the hole.

First time I've ever watched this cam. And how very nice to have the first on Mother's Day! I love the pic SGB of Louie gently head-butting Dori to try to get his first look at the chick . Any my, how easy it is to tell these 2 apart...her beak is lighter, almost looks blueish. She's making a bit of noise now.

Louie was just on the scene and they were having a soft toned conversation for several minutes...think he's still wanting to get a look at the chick, but again Dori wouldn't budge...then he left. Almost right after Dori stood up (of course) and I got a glimpse of what looks like a pip on another egg.....she did quite a bit of shifting/moving around (moved the chick again too) before finally settling...still remains a tad restless though, so I think another hatch may be on the way at some point today.

oh my goodness, that was something to see, her moving that chick. Thanks for getting that SGB. Whew!!

To cool SGB

I just came back online and saw Louie come for his duties
Dori thought different

He had a look though

After he left I could see this little beak

Mid-afternoon snack time...

Thank you 'Catbird' for those pics...I've watched off and on all day today, but not continuously and was wondering if the wee one had been feed since hatch...I can breathe a sigh of relief now

Great catch of the new baby--thanks, Catbird!

I think the second egg is trying to hatch...not good news or a good view. I'm sorry. Didn't capture a picture, but she's been picking up the chick by what I think is the wing and carrying it around while it's still in the egg. Looks like maybe it got stuck. At the same time, she's not really watching what she's doing with eyas #1 and I think almost stepped on him!

Eyas 2 is moving. I think she's trying to help it out of the shell. I think it's head is stuck.

This has just been such a strange viewing year.

Okay..#2 is free... She's picking at the egg shell now.

Sigh of relief...

I just saw that there is clearly a 2nd hatch (and I missed it of course). I'm wondering if this is a young mom...is she banded/been ID'd?...because she keeps pecking at the chicks, whatever and I've not really seen that before, except in Harrisburg just recently (but they're older) but that was Mom trying to move the oldest, who sometimes strays away from the others, under her with the others because it's been so windy (and a lot colder) the past few days.

mwplay I did not see it all, but I think eyas is okay
Hotspots will show more later when made.
This is what I could snap
2th eyas at the left near the other egg


Dori is ID'd and if my memory is right it is her first time to become a mom.

I think she is a new mom. I'm not sure of her history, but I know she fought off the resident female after 2 eggs were laid.

Watching that second hatch and her literally picking up the eyas by the wing and carrying it, egg and all...it had not been fully hatched at that time, just freaked me out... She moved away from eyas#1 and the other eggs. I truly thought she was going to eat it. Sorry to say.

Mom must be stressed. Poor thing. It's almost like she doesn't know what to do.

Or better yet...maybe it's just me.

Hi Knorrie - yes, eyas#2 is okay after the hatch. It was just during it. I just happened to start viewing when she was picking up the eyas.

Great pics 'Knorrie'! As I said, I missed it, by only a few minutes it seems!

Thank you 'Catwoman' for that clarification...I could kind of tell by the way she was acting and whatnot, so she is just learning with this being her first time, with the moving of the chicks and such. Guess that kind of explains too why she hasn't allowed Louie anything more than a very wee glimpse at the first chick today. I saw them both together at one point today and they were talking softly to one another (no screaming or anything), but she barely budged an inch, and after a bit he finally left...poor guy.

I got a few more pictues of the feeding. Will try to post later.
