And they are maturing fast! We went up to the box last Friday and took
some shots of the chicks to be used as the prize giveaways for the naming
contest. Remember, today is the last day to enter. All four looked healthy
and were giving us a good look over. The three girls are even bigger than
Zeus at this point. Their down is almost completely gone and they have
been testing their wings up and down the ledge. Looks like they are
enjoying their increased mobility. Camera 2 seems to be the best one to
watch this.
Notice all the debris on ledge? That's good to see because we know the
chicks are getting fed. And when the chicks do start to fly, they will
hopefully land on a nearby building roof where Hera and Zeus can bring
them food.
This weekend our babies got just a little bit bigger and more adventurous.
I saw three chicks on ledge and one still in the box. This morning there
were two chicks near the box on the ledge and one chick in the box. The
chicks on the ledge were walking and bouncing very steadily and not
wobbly. I have not seen all four chicks together yet but as of 2:00 p.m.
Tower management has seen all four.
