In another week or so, we should start seeing prey going into the eyrie. The parents never eat in the nest site. We should expect to see this around the 28th to the 30th of April. It is so hard to predict… the time of incubation, hatching of eggs , when food goes into the nest for the young and showing of the chicks. I’ve only been close twice in thirty years. As of late, I’ve only been watching the south side pair.
Occasionally I stop off and watch the north side pair. I can imagine the north side are about on the same schedule. All we can do is to keep watching the birds when they bring in prey to see where they take it. In the nest or they may perch outside and eat it themselves.
About the young, even though they may hatch around the end of the month, we won’t see them until a couple weeks later. Approximately, May 15th.
If you are around Morro Rock, come out and look though our high quality spotting scopes. It’s free to look and enjoy these magnificent birds. We will catch you up on the latest details when you arrive.
Happy trails, Bob and Jerry
Item: My guess is three chicks, Jerry chooses three chicks also. Heather is being ornery and choosing 2 chicks.
