Here's the video ... Dad did succeed in killing the hawk ... now everyone is worried about the eggs. Mom is back and is very fussy.

That was just horrible!!! What would possess a hawk to do that? Mom is still being very careful in the nestbowl, so I just pray the eggs are ok..it's not helping to have part of that hawk spilling over into the nest bow..WOW...

And that was just part one SGB! The other 2 parts can be found on this page ...

The Duke Farms site posted today that biologists think one chick hatched.

From the site

Update 3/25/2013
It appears at least one chick has hatched, biologists have observed feeding in the nest (with the adult feeding the chick the remains of the hawk from the attack on 3/24/2013).

Second chick confirmed. See the post

3/25/2013:

Upon reviewing user observations, video and consulting state wildlife biologists it appears that both eggs hatched on March 25! A clip of the hatchlings can be found in the video links on the right hand side of this page. Given the angle of the cam, you can just make out the tops of their heads.

They looked like they were having a nice day today. :)

Mom put her head down while the chicks were sitting up.
