There were no real interesting shots taken during the hour that I spent at the nest in week seven. So, let’s skip to week eight, where I found the birds to be more active.
The first two shots were taken from the other side of the river.





Here are a few assorted images from the chicks third week. First up is an image of “mom” at the nest, giving her near-silent vocalization.

Below you get a great look at the size of the filled-crop of this chick.

Happy Mother’s Day!

Fuzzy little dinosaurs?

Until next time, a closeup of the chicks.
