I know! The feed was getting broken up and suddenly one of them is out on the edge. I don’t think Papa knows what to do about it (pretty sure that’s Papa). Looks like the chick is going for some muskrat! Edit: Multi- simulposts ---

This is painful watching the little guy trying to climb back into the center of the nest ☹ ---

Hooray! Baby got back in! The parent tore up the nest a little to make it easier for him to climb over, then helped pull him the last little bit. Whew. ---

Is that a hamster in the nest now? I thought they ate mostly fish. It’s a freaking morgue menagerie in there. ---

It’s fascinating, isn’t it? Edit: Well yeah, you just said it was :smack: ---

I see another fish has been added to the buffet. And they were sampling the crow earlier as well. ---

Is anyone having trouble accessing the cam today? I have tried a couple times and all I get is a black screen with that endless little circle going round and round and round. ☹ ---

I was watching a few minutes ago, now it’s gone again. Edit: And now it’s back. ---

I keep having to reload it because it freezes up. A couple of times the live image has been replaced with a still image of some other kind of bird in flight. Kind of weird. I’m reloading it right now and it’s taking forever. ---

Yeah, mine keeps freezing up, too. I’ve got the black screen right now. ---

Sometimes I think it’s frozen but it’s not. They’re reaaaaaally good at holding very, very still. So much easier when it’s windy out! ---

It looks like egg 3 is hatching! There is a bulging area with cracks around it and they keep zooming in! ---
