No matter what wiseass comments you make, the birds are still ugly as warthogs

Not to their mother, as I am sure you were reassured by your own mater.

I hope you peeked in at dusk today, one of the parents was perched up high while das kinder groomed themselves as best they could in the shelter. (I think we are at junior high level -so fast- we will soon see more wing beating and the dropping off of all the white baby feathers.

joe, You may be "no panic." No such luck here. I've been back a few times since I saw your message. I can't tell. I thought I saw four babies. Then no. Three. No, two, three. I just don't know. Crying or Very sad

Just checked NY and PA sites. Saw two babies in NY and two babies in PA. Trying to remain calm.

Damn sun flare in NY! Though I think I count three.

Four! There are four there now! (7:39 p.m. NYC time)


I finally found this thread. I had the birdcam bookmarked from last year, but kept getting "Error" messages. I thought it was down this year. Last night I found this thread and learned there's a new web address. Glad I didn't miss the whole show!

Thanks, Eva. You've eased my mind.

I think I counted four chicks in NYC, but the Harrisburg Birds are gone-gone-gone. Perhaps Farmerman hurt their feelings?

Looks like there are 5 birds on deck.

Since they're getting to be of a like size, hard to tell if it's 4 + 1, or 3 + 2

Um, (I know this is natural and all) but there looks to be a carcass of some songbird laying out there on the veranda.

Noddy, In Harrisburg they installed another tv camera pointing in the opposite direction so we can see when the chicks are wandering about the building ledge. There are 4 chicks in Pa, all is cool.

Ny site needs some disinfectant and a good vacuum job.

Very hasty peek this morning after an unfortunate three-day absense.

Both sets of babies have grown.

Songbirds make good bones.
