Cathy Kerr Reports:
I have been watching on and off for over a week for a peek at our chick and on Wednesday he/she finally peeked out at the world! As we only had one chick hatch this year, the MNR would not band a single chick, so we do not know the sex–yet. We will have to go by observations, or if, at fledge time, the chick comes to ground. On Friday the little guy finally got up the courage to hop up on the ledge and is now observing his bigger world.
Today he did more of the same, tho this evening after about an hour and a half Dad came home with dinner and that FINALLY got him moving! Took a real hissy fit lol. So Dad flew over, showed him his dinner and took it back over to Mom to prepare! When Mom got it over to him, he hopped down into the nest ledge and reached up and grabbed it from her -hungry baby! I then left him eating, and Mom & Dad watching him from the other building.
I’ll be back out tomorrow to check on things, with full fledge watch starting on Monday! Let the fun begin
