Chicks showing on May 18-20…

On the eighteenth of May, a first chick made an appearance under the “diving board” showing up as a little white ball of fuzz. He looks to be about 21 to 23 days old. We first saw a bird at 11:25 AM on May 18th, then on May 20th the second one at 1:05PM.

Later on May 20, two young came out to defecate. It must be starting to stink in the eyrie. They only show for up about for thirty seconds, then dart back inside. So… you must watch the hole non-stop. 

More to come.

Happy trails,  Bob.

P.S. We shared a previous photo by Cleve Nash from years ago, but the current chicks look very similar to these.
