Just before heading to lunch today I pulled up the NYS DEC Dunn Memorial Bridge Falcon Cam and got lucky - one of the adults was feeding the two chicks that have hatched so far!
Apparently my timing was just right, since when the chicks are first born they're very susceptible to cold and the female keeps them warm by brooding (essentially sitting on them) so that the only time they're visible is when they're being fed.
The pictures show two more eggs in the nest... hopefully those will also hatch in the next week or so and we'll have a full nest of 4 chicks...
