 Today I took another look and discovered the eggs have hatched...  Not the greatest pictures, but I'm trying not to disturb the mother too much. I have to climb up on a stool and hold the mirror and then shoot with the camera in my other hand. I'm using my G5 for these... John

We had some pretty foul weather a couple of weeks ago and she wasn't fazed by any of it. The nest is out of the rain and because we have another building right behind us, she was protected from the wind. John
