I’ve had a busy week, and my post for last weekends’ monitoring been delayed. There’s a lot happening, so let’s begin.
Pyramid Nest
One of the chicks at Pyramid Nest was busy testing out its wings.
My rounds on Sunday morning revealed that a majority of the nests now have chicks.
Clipper Nest #2
Three older chicks spotted right after feeding time.

Pyramid Nest
Two chicks at Pyramid Nest, with a parent keeping watch nearby.

Cambie Nest
By the time I arrived at Cambie Nest the day was heating up significantly. The two chicks we spotted last week – now around 8-10 days old – were hanging back in the shade, making it difficult to get good photographs.
