And Now There are Two
February 27, 2025
About 12:41 AM, this morning nestling #2 hatched! It is hard to see in a still image. In the video played at a slow speed, sometimes frame by frame, and zoomed in, you can see a wet chick moving about under its sibling and to the right of the egg.
The female kept both chicks well hidden, until just before daybreak. She was up and off the nest to feed a hungry #1, while its new sibling sleeps.
The female begins to feed nestling #1. A dry and fluffy nestling #2 is seen.
Nestling #2 struggles to sit up, but falls over on its back.
Thanks to a zoom of the cam, viewers are treated to amazing closeups of both nestlings. Zoom and feeding of nestling #1 begins at 8:09 am.

Nestling 1 is eating well. Sometimes it misses and grabs its mother’s feathers.
Yesterday evening the chick did the same. A startled female took the little one for a wild ride. Watch the video clip - Wild Ride.
Let the fun begin!
