Great job with the snips & videos evy1. Sure does help me to keep "up to date" with the Sturt cam operating so sporadic lately. Hope they got the "bugs" out now. ~~ Little guy has sure "growed up" so quickly while the cam was down. We will certainly assume the second egg has no possibility of a hatch now. :(
:stirwitch:

Sure is strange. With our 5 Alberta (Canada) nests that I followed this past summer, we had 21 eggs, 20 of which successfully hatched & fledged. Very, very successful season for us. Poor Beau & Swift just are not having the same luck. Is it diet ?? Food shortage ?? Something is just not working for them this last few years.

I think the general consensus is that its Swift's age. :girlsad3:

I swear--does this baby ever have a normal-size crop? :hahah

Well, maybe at night when Swift can't see the size start to diminish & immediately start feeding him. :flirty:

There are a couple of updates on the webpage with cute pictures of the family. :hall6:

That little chick is so precious. Thanks for all the wonderful pictures. I have tried quite a few times to get the cam but had to give it up.

SO MUCH FUN TO WATCH JUST NOW. MOM KEPT GOING AND STANDING IN THE DOOR LOOKING FOR DAD AND THEN BACK TO ASPRO. IT WAS LIKE ... WHERE IN THE HECK IS HE ... HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE HERE 30 MINUTES AGO! FINALLY, DAD SHOWS UP WITH A LATE SUPPER THAT SHE SNATCHES AND TAKES TO FEED ASPRO! THANK GOODNESS YOU DIDN'T COME HOME EMPTY HANDED DAD ... :cackle:

Good to see you, ljames! I was wondering where you were since you're usually around when we have cute little chicks. :pumpkincat:

I'm actually getting into the cam faster since the storm than before. You have to click on the hand & that threw me to begin with.

Thank you Catwoman ~~~~ never even thought about Swifts age and yes I can definitely agree with that being a contributing factor. Too bad but that is nature.

Snuggle time! :flirty:

Wish I could have gotten a capture showing more of baby, but you can tell from what you can see of him that they're snuggling! :loveshow:
