Remember, falcons don't start incubating right away. The incubation period is 33 days, give or take a day or so. The 5th egg was laid either late March 17 or early March 18, which was 33 days ago. It's a good bet that this isn't the only hatch we'll see here today!

Louie managed to sneak in and give the first feeding!

...At least until Dori discovered him and took the food away to feed the little one herself.

Notice the pipped egg in the background?

I am so enjoying watching this pair! Especially how Louie is so eager for his nest time -- even more so now that the eggs are hatching. Dori obviously rules the nest and Louie is quick to provide her with whatever she desires, with the exception of giving up his spot on the eggs when she returns to the nest. Dori usually has to stand over him chirping for several minutes before he will comply. This is also the only pair I have seen who regularly do nest exchanges throughout the night. I am so glad they decided to use this nest this year!

I *think* I saw a pip in one of the two remaining eggs, but it was hard to tell for sure.

Clever Louie found a way to be involved during breakfast.

First Louie feeds Dori...

Louie feeds Dori again but his goal is for her to feed the chicks, I think. It works.

Here she is leaving with the leftovers, so cute.
:loveheart:

Louie came in to sit with the chicks and was just getting comfy when she returned. Chicks tumbling around all over when he got up.
