Thanks to glenham for sharing this wonderful feeding video – this brood is growing rapidly!

1 Just before midnight 7/4/2008 and the 2nd shortly after 7/5/2008  

The fourth egg arrived in the Glenham, NY Chimney Swift nest this morning (Thursday, 06/19/08)! 

Looking at “glenham’s” camera, it does appear that active incubation by the pair has started. 

Will there be a fifth egg?  We’ll have to wait and see!  Chimney Swifts lay their eggs EVERY OTHER day so if there is a number five it should arrive on Saturday, June 21st.

You can follow the Chimney Swift nest on our forum or you can visit the Cornell Lab of Ornithology NestCams site were we are a cam host.

And a belated Update!  The third egg hatched on 05/07/08 and number four  arrived just after midnight on 05/09/08.  The fifth egg remains unhatched at this time and will not hatch.  We can anticipate these four young falcons to fledge and leave the nest sometime in mid June.

Hooray for four growing young falcon chicks and to the Buffalo adult pair for doing such a great job of raising a new generation in our city!
