LOL, TPC! I love your description! :D Sounds as if they are being well looked after. :)
The Peregrine Chick:
1545 hrs (local) - whomever was brooding (Jules I think) suddenly leapt off the chicks and tossed the chicks into a little line across the box. In came a totally soaked Beau who kept an eye on the little ones until Jules returned with food. Now, these guys are really too small to move easily and can barely see (their eyes are closed when they first hatch) so Jules started feeding the middle chick and the two outside chicks had to work their way into the middle in order to get some food. At the moment everyone is back together and Jules is feeding everyone nicely. And I think they have even moved another couple of inches further under cover.
The Peregrine Chick:
1419 hrs (local) - watching Jules as she's sleeping on the chicks. The rain drips off the roof of the nestbox and drips onto the back of her neck and wakes her up. Insult to injury. She is half-inside, half-outside right now but I think perhaps they have managed to move the chicks about 1-6 inches more "inside". If the forecast for tomorrow is correct, both Jules and Beau should be able to bake in the sun on the edge of the nestbox while their chicks get to lie uncovered in the sun - what a change in 24 hours!
Mother Hen:
Got the first glimpse of the WW beauties today. You do such a good job Tracy. I hope the rain will stop soon and not rains for weeks.
