Expectant observers are patiently waiting to see something white and fuzzy appear at the nest site on the south side of Morro Rock. If my calculations are close, the young, we don’t know how many, should be approximately four or five days old today. Nest duties are going smoothly, exchanges about every two to three hours daily.
In previous years, the young normally appear between ten and fourteen days old. Now this is not gospel, so I could be a week off or more. We are right on top of it and we will post when the young do appear. So by the middle of the month, you should be guaranteed to see something. For the next four or five weeks, it’s the best time of the year in my opinion.
They are cute and fuzzy when they come to the edge of the diving board hole. See you then.
Happy trails, Bob and Jerry
Thanks for you and Jerry keeping us in the loop!
Always happy to keep you up to date. ~Heather
Wonderful! You must be thrilled! The pictures are beautiful!
Many thanks. Foggy lately so the chicks should be seen in a few days. ~Heather
Can’t wait to come out to the rock again. May be out on Mothers day. Do you know if the other side is making feeding runs? And thanks for keeping us up to date. When the chicks become visible I will bring a group out. Thanks to you and Jerry.
Foggy here and Bob hasn’t been out for a couple days due to California State Park problems. He should be out soon. Jerry may be out there.~Heather
