What a phenomenal webcam view we now have!  It is also great to have sound.
Yay, Radisson, so glad to see you back. 

[bcbird]

Radisson has just stepped out and there are now two eggs to be seen!

[bcbird]

There is still enough light to see a parent on the eggs inside the nest box, and to tell that it is snowing outside the nest box.

[bcbird]

Parent is on the eggs this morning. 
Might there only going to be three, with incubation beginning since that second egg appeared on Friday?

Yes or it could just be that the weather is cooler and Radisson/Chase have decided to keep the eggs from getting too cold.  There is a difference between hard incubation and sitting on the eggs to keep them from getting too cold or wet or heck, even too hot.

Thanks, TPC. 
It is snowing again in Edmonton, so a bit of egg sitting for warmth sounds likely.
