Today there are 4 eggs in the nest. I could barely get a peek in because they have begun sitting on them now.

After checking nest last evening I found 3 very well fed babies, and 1 infertile egg. I removed the egg, not sure if I should have but the babies are so far doing great and are 5 days old today. I wish I had thought to take a picture of them while I was checking. They are growing fast.
All the babies appear to be greys but I cannot be sure, their skin is darker but their fluff is white.
