Radisson - 2009 / Trey & Princess
Kinderchick:
What a wonderful close up of a cozy little chickpile, just before I head off to bed! Thanks, TPC! :-*
Gale:
That's a beautiful cuddle of chicks by the wall - almost like they know theyll soon be going separate ways :'(. Thanks for the close-up.

This is the first time that I've watched them on a regular basis, and it's been amazing to see the progress from fluffy hatchlings to these near-adults that are so close to fledging. I had no idea the process would be so quick, often with noticeable changes from day to day.

I agree - I am anticipating empty nest syndrome (what great phrases we have relating to birds and nests-flying the coop, feathering our nests, eggs all in one basket, counting your chickens before... must be lots more...)
My original observation/question...Perhaps this all happens in South America in out winter and those birds fly north - seems likely - our wintering birds fly south to replace the South American ones that have flown north to warmer climes for their winter.

Mostly Scottish, I think - so many generations and so many families came to Nova Scotia from there - or perhaps you were thinking whiskey??
Anyway perhaps it's true. TPC should know with all her birding experience. Probably wrong page for such musings.
