More pix from this morning showing parent pefa jittery, moving around a lot, not like the usual static position seen here. Hopeful we will get lucky with Sundays visit, and get more evidence.

It was still a windy rather cool day despite the blue skies and sunny conditions and the adult female was not giving much up as I peeked through the peep holes of the nest box this afternoon.
She was tightly down in brooding mode and doing a great job covering her new family members.
I was able to confirm at least two hatchlings, with a possible third hatchling. Although all I was able to see two tiny little white fluffy butts!
Sadly, I was unable to get any sort of full view of the hatchlings, so it was impossible to age them. As such we will have to take our best guess of their age based on our observations of the resident adults behaviour as it relates to their activity in and around the nest box.
Long before we had cameras installed on any of the nest ledges, it was (ans still is) very easy to identify the first day of a hatch based on the close daily monitoring that we do on each of the active nest sites.
As in this case, it is believed that the first hatch happened on or about April 30th or May 1st.
Until I can get an physical eyeball or a photo of all of the hatchlings together, there will be no way to positively determine their exact size, thus identify the biggest, (that will at this age), allow me to identify the oldest and first hatched. I can then properly age the oldest / first hatched and come up with an exact hatch date.
Stay tuned…………
Bill and I spent several hours at the Lift Bridge today. What a beautiful day to be out and enjoying Spring. Still no little white heads visible either from the parking lot or from down the road. If there has been a hatch, we should be able to count heads sometime this week, I hope. An interesting thing that Mackenzie has figured out is how to shop in the bridge. We witnessed him shopping in the holes on the Bridge. He would go inside a hole and the next thing you knew, he would bring out a squab. He ate some of it and then delivered the rest to the nest box. An easy day of hunting for him.
King St peregrine chicks are doing well, with the adults bringing in hearty meals on a regular basis.
Late tonight and through the overnight, maintenance will be occurring on the entire CPF web site. We are not expecting any hiccups or disruption to the camera images.
However, should this happen, CPF is well aware of the situation and working on getting the website back on line as soon as possible.
We are thanking you in advance for your patience and understanding while this necessary work is completed.
Hi Everyone;
Rhea Mae and Tiago are doing a fine job looking after the four wee ones. They are growing so fast.
Late tonight and through the overnight, CPF will be doing maintenance on the entire CPF website. We are not expecting any hiccups to occur. Should the website be down in the morning, this is the reason and we are already working on getting it back up on-line As soon as possible.
Thanking everyone in advance for your patience and understanding.

I have just opened up e-mail from Armando from Holcim with some very exciting news.

Hi everyone,
We have a hatch in progress! So far we have 3 hatchlings out of their little shell it is now 11:30 am Friday May, 5, 2012. We know that at least one was hatched before 6:30 am when we setup the camera, but hopefully the others happened after that, and we will have it on video.
