It looks like one of two things has happened to the thrid egg in the nest.
1) it's in the process of hatching, and since we can't make the bird move, we can only wait for the sitting bird to move for a chance at seeing the egg clearly.
or....
2) the chicks have taken it upon themselves to increase their share of food from the parents by committing fratricide and "offing their un-hatched sibling. (hey, it's "survival of the fittest"!)
I can't watch it all day long, and it seems that there's some new carcass in the nest each day.
