Woo hoo! Better late than never...the 4th egg hatched while the cam was down. What a tiny little thing compared to its sibs. All dried off and fluffy. The cam self-cleaned over the weekend and visualization is now much clearer. What looked to me like a crack in the 4th egg on Friday was actually natural coloring. Apologies for that, but of no moment now, as the egg has hatched. A beautiful little baby. Mom and Dad have their talons full To post a pic when I get home from work.

Thanks, Nadia! Will watch for your pics. I just watched a feed, but #4 did not get a bite even though it was up front and you can see why from the pic. It was recovering from a tumble in this capture. It eventually got turned in the wrong direction, but remained up front. The other 3 had crops before the feed as I think they were recently fed within that hour. Capture by: im_ann:

Here are some pics of our newest arrival. Although Baby did not get anything on the feed that Swinwk mentions above, this little tyke did get some very good bites from Mom during a 2nd feed shortly thereafter...a very personal feed once the older siblings were too full to care.

231 PM - Pacific time. Our first look at the newest arrival...a tiny head peeking out just in front of Mom's right leg.

340 PM - Baby up front and center, but got nothing during this feed.

452 PM - Another feed and Baby is up front again and getting some good bites from Mom.

455 PM - More food for Baby.

630 PM - Pacific time.

The chick pile with all four little faces showing and Baby at the very bottom of the heap after yet another feed.

Feed in progress per Dad!! It took the little one awhile to wake up and finally open his beak, but he's at the back for now as I leave.

Just watched a feeding, baby seemed to get almost every bite, but I think there had been a previous feeding.
And he was fed so gently.

:loveheart2:

Thanks ljames… I was about to post about that feed. I've been keeping an eye on this nest from the office. Yesterday, many cam viewers were worried that the youngest was not getting enough to eat and to be honest, yesterday's feeds were painful to watch. Baby got maybe 1-3 bites at each meal and I had to remind myself that this chick hatched the day before and didn't need food right away. A few bites here and there was needed to colonize the gut and kick digestion in gear. Today, Baby is stronger and getting much more food. Mom is so gentle, putting each morsel deep into the little one's beak. Mom knows best. :15heartbeat:
