Baby bird update.

I had a dream the third hawk baby died, mid-hatching. I woke up and rushed to the computer, just in time to see Mama hawk feeding the babies. Baby #2 is now bobbling and eating, actively, and Mama does a good job alternating between the two so that both get fed. I think they will be fine. Egg #3 has a clear hole in it, so hatching is underway, but no chick, yet.

I poured myself some cereal and we all ate breakfast together: me with my granola and soy milk, hawkies with their strips of fresh mouse julienne.

Awww! I was just looking at the nest yesterday - she was sitting there so I couldn't see anything. Yay, hawkies!

I'm so glad you were keeping track of them- they are now back on my computer all day while I work! I hope baby #3 hatches today.

I think it will; it looks like motion was going on in the opening at the 9:20 feeding, this morning.

I just love the way they're all bobble-headed.

I'm watching zebra and sprinkboks in Namibia here!
