I guess RG didn't like its location...she moved it..

and then she quickly covered...so, didn't get a good look..

He summersaulted! I watched him! LOL

Great pictures and reports of the third hatch! (I was really beginning to wonder if we'd ever see the latest little guy.)

Dinner time! Even the littlest one is getting fed.

Good documentation, Ethel.

All three chicks stuffed and stupefied now, and Red Girl left with a yellow flicker wing.

I knew when I went out to mow that something would happen. If my memory is correct, when Red Girl first became a mother several years ago, she moved several chicks around, making watchers panic. And I agree that it's the remains of a Flicker in the box, Greg. :-(

Of course when you leave everything happens. Just got home and happy to see the Third one made it out just fine, and has been fed. Thanks Ethel for your watchful eyes today! Great pictures from you too SGB.

Two more to go...... Tomorrow???

Red Girl was gone for a bit, but is now back with a bedtime snack for the chicks. :-)

She fed them a few bites, and then left. And now she's back covering them.

Thanks so much for the great early morning pictures Ethel! See what today brings......A beautiful day.......

Trinity must have brought in some food. Red Girl left for about a minute and is now feeding the three chicks.

I didn't see that chick in the back get a bite. So hard to be sure on a refresh cam.

Is that a banana peel?

4.40 pm The 2 remaining eggs are a mess - we should have 2 more chicks in the morning

Catbird · **Posted:** Sun Apr 19, 2015 4:54 pm

A big thanks to ljames for her pictures today, and a big thanks to everyone who kept watch at the nest yesterday. It was exciting to see the first two chicks in the early morning, and it was a true act of patience for many who waited and watched for the third chick, which finally hatched in the late afternoon. All of the commentary, pictures, and videos from yesterday are much appreciated.

As of now, the head count still stands at 3 chicks and 2 eggs.

and the flicker wing count still stands as the one Red Girl did not take on her housekeeping errand after a feeding yesterday.
