Well, they must be back there to stay out of the wind etc. Nice and dry there though.

Feeding going on right now, and it looks like Trinity doing the feeding. Glad to see a new face on here, Shepherd.

Welcome to the forum, Shepard.

Some scenes from breakfast this morning:

Glad you caught that feeding, Ethel. Did you think it was Trinity?

Yes, I think it's Trinity based on the length of the tail and wing tips being almost equal. (Red Girl's tail is longer than her wing tips.)

Faith - Falcon logic 101 ? :teehee:

You got good pics! I missed the feeding entirely! :egg16:

Thanks for the welcome.

WELCOME SHEPHERD!! Love the Bird Bath!

I believe they are staying in that corner to stay out of the wind and rain. Smart!!
You can see some of the Feathers moving in the box, so the wind is blowing in some.

THE CHICKS ARE REALLY FAVORING THAT UPPER RIGHT CORNER, I CAN ONLY SEE A PART OF ONE CHICK RIGHT NOW :-(

Yes, with the way the wind is blowing, it is coming right at the nest box. They are smart. Mother Nature kicking in!

April 30 Wednesday Temp 44 rainy
At dawn the little stinkers are in the top right corner - out of the wind, rain - good for them, bad for viewers! Oh well, their parents can see them!
7.30 am I can see the tail of parent sitting up on the side near cam, kids in a heap still in NE corner
8.00 am I can see she is feeding them but not worth a pic - really cant SEE a thing and they cant adjust their cam.
10.45 She appears to be covering her babies, keeping them warm, its chilly and rainy

I believe there was a feeding in the corner a bit ago. Actually it's going on now. Earlier I saw two chicks doing a little exploring in the box. I would imagine the weather in Wilmington is similar to what we're having in Harrisburg - cool rain and very windy. :-(

Another feeding going on in the upper right corner of the screen. :-)

2.30 I think thats Red Girl prepping prey, unsure - the chicks started coming toward her
buuutttttttttt then they all go hide from us :egg15:

- but I fooled em, I took 2 snips bwahaha :egg20:

Great pictures, Shepherd. Was talking to a friend in Wilmington a while ago, and understand it has been POURING down there today. As of 5:39, chicks are huddled in the corner and an unknown adult is sitting up on the edge of the ledge.

Feeding going on in the upper right corner of the screen right now. Not sure how long it's been going on.

I am so sad and so sorry about #5...but so very thankful that you guys have such a wonderful and caring person in Craig!!!

Catbird · **Posted:** Wed Apr 30, 2014 11:17 pm

Thanks for the great pictures today, Shepherd. At least the chicks got out of that corner for a little bit today.

Thanks for posting the news about chick #5 from the Wilmington Facebook page, Carly, even though it wasn't news that I wanted to hear. May chick #5 rest in peace.
