A couple of photos submitted recently. The first is Susanne’s snapshot of one of the chicks in a dead tree near a Bronson ramp on July 5. This looks like it may be near the tree were one of the females spent a few hours hiding from us on her second day of flying.
The other was submitted today by Zeke Hasaces, who was wondering if it’s normal for this chick to be squawking incessantly.
The answer is yes. It’s probably hungry (when are these chicks not?) and Rowena and Ivanhoe may be withholding meals as they teach their young to hunt and catch their own dinner.
He took the photo through a window, which is why it looks a bit hazy.
