I'm just getting them off the still images while I'm watching on the streaming. The still cam refreshes more often than it use to if you manually refresh it.

All is well. :girlluv:

Well, I missed that feeding. Another Blue Jay. :-(

Great pictures, ljames. It's been raining steadily here all morning and is supposed to do so for most of the day.

THE LIL ONE REALLY GOT ALOT OF BITES THAT TIME! :eggthumbup:

Missed that feeding also. Lil Dad was in front of the scrape about five minutes ago. Didn't have food, just checking in. Have had Blue Jays at the feeder here several times today, and warned them not to go any closer to downtown than here. :-)

Niecey just hopped up on the shield.

Was outside for a bit. Came in to see the end of a feeding. I can imagine it's tough hunting for Lil Dad today. Not much bird activity near my place.

Niecey got up a bit ago and flew off. She's been standing on guard over the chicks almost all day. Perhaps she's out hunting. It's raining very lightly now and is 59 degrees here.

Jane · **Posted:** Mon Apr 29, 2013 5:18 pm

Didn't see her return due to sending some email. Niecey is there feeding the chicks right now.

Look at her brood patch now. She looks so beautiful sitting there with her babies. She has done a good job of keeping them dry today.It is 58 degrees in Wilm. now.

Just saw another feeding. Didn't see Lil Dad, but unless the prey presented itself up there, Lil Dad delivered it. It wasn't real big, and Niecey fed them every last bit. She is now puffed up about the size of a feathered bowling ball keeping the chicks warm and dry.

AWE, LIL DAD JUST BROUGHT IN FOOD AGAIN. HE BROUGHT IT RIGHT INTO THE SCRAPE FOR NIECEY TO GET. I GUESS HE FIGURED THE CHICKS DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH FOR THE NIGHT :-)

ljames · **Posted:** Mon Apr 29, 2013 7:40 pm

Looks like Niecey is having most of it. Chicks aren't crying for any, so I guess they are full.

ljames · **Posted:** Mon Apr 29, 2013 7:43 pm

She might have a few takers now.

Jane · **Posted:** Mon Apr 29, 2013 7:47 pm

Don't know how I missed seeing the food delivery. I wondered where it came from.

BOY AT LEAST ONE OR MORE OF THE CHICKS ARE GIVING NIECEY PROBLEMS TONIGHT, GUESS THEY THINK IT'S TOO EARLY FOR BEDTIME, LOL!

Just wanted to let everyone know, I may not be posting, but I am keeping up with it all...So exciting and it seems Niecey is doing such a great job!!

Thanks for all the great pics, video, comments!! Helps those of us who don't get the chance to visit here often to stay "in the loop"!!!

6AM, CHICKS ARE ALL ALONE. MUST BEING WAITING FOR FOOD. LIL DAD JUST WALKED IN AND THEY ARE SCREAMING AT HIM, SO I GUESS THEY WEREN'T FED YET. MAYBE NIECEY WENT OUT TO GET A BIG MEAL. IT'S STILL MISTY OUT THERE, SO NOT MANY BIRDS FLYING AROUND I GUESS. HOPE NIECEY DOESN'T BRING BACK A PIGEON! DON'T LIKE THE CHICKS TO HAVE THEM UNLESS THEY HAVE TO. DON'T WANT ANY SICK BABIES THIS YEAR!

OK, LIL DAD GOT UP ON THE SHIELD NOW.
