05-09-2023 The chicks are growing

5/9/2023

The chicks are thriving and getting bigger. They have little pin feathers starting to show in their wings and their feet look huge!  The weather is warmer and the parents spend more time out of the nest box. But if you look at the parapet camera, you are likely to see an adult just outside the box.  There is a new video clip of some yawning chicks that spring to life pretty quickly when food arrives.

They will be banded on May 19 by the Department of Natural Resources.
