Dayton...I really haven't checked the cam very much today, but I've seen no one, but I'm starting to think there won't be a second clutch...I guess time will tell...

4th hatch, Utah! It must have been this morn. I checked last night just before dusk and saw the egg and the pip. The new one is dry and sitting up. Looks sturdy as I am watching the feed!

I think that was the 1/2 shell from the previous hatch. This is a pic from last night showing the pip.

This female is good. She fed and fed these chicks until they all fell over in a food stupor.

Evanston chicks got their bling today
Update — 5/31/2011
A quick video of the return to the pillar cap after the banding.

The names of the eyases (EYE-ah-sez) are:

Wilbur - named after Wilbur, the runt pig in E.B. White's Charlotte's Web. The runt of the litter, Wilbur is saved from a terrible fate by his friend Charlotte the spider.

Lincoln - named after Abraham Lincoln, born in Illinois and our 16th president. He led the nation through Civil War and brought an end to slavery in the United States.

Dewey - named after Melvil Dewey, American librarian and reformer. Dewey established the Dewey decimal system of classifying books and played a prominent role in developing professional institutions for librarians.

Rosalind - the central character of Shakespeare's As You Like It. Some critics call Rosalind one of the most complex, fully realized Shakespearean characters. As an added bonus, there is a falcon reference in As You Like It (Act 3, Scene 3 - Touchstone: "As the ox hath his bow, sir, the horse his curb and the falcon her bells, so man hath his desires; and as pigeons bill, so wedlock would be nibbling.")
