It just started to rain, Hurricane is in the nest box with the three chicks.  It's from the east so they are getting a bit wet and Rose said it was hailing at her house (2 miles west of downtown).   :o

Haaa!!! 2 of the chicks were just picking away at a leftover wing while the 3rd chick in the corner was trying to sleep. When they bumped into him, he appeared to wack them with his wing! LOL! ;D

Chronology for this morning ....

no parent with the chicks when the light came up, they are definitely on their own at night now
0625h - meal 1
0826h - meal 2
since then lots of sprawling together and separately ... suspect they will be separately in the heat today ...


Weather forecast for today and tonight

Day - Clear. High of 27C. Breezy. Winds from the WSW at 10 to 20 km/h.
Night - Partly cloudy. Low of 14C. Winds less than 5 km/h.

If this looks awfully familiar, not surprising, almost the same as Winnipeg's!
