The female at a different location would dive at people passing by, but the people being attacked didn't notice. She pulls up at the last moment and never actually makes contact, so I suppose that's why no one catches on.

The attacks made me too nervous to check inside the nest, but from the way she was behaving I believe the chicks have hatched.
