Not enough hours in the day...

I haven't had time to check on them this morning but will shortly.

I actually watched the parent bird drop off the "chippie" to E2 yesterday morning live.


.
I found it a little difficult to watch as I'd only woken up, but it was great he finally got a good feed.

It's a beautiful looking University there.
Karel was pointing the lens at E2 on the roof of the greenhouse and just behind was the ivy on the wall of the building and a little "Juliet" balcony with a door. They were calling it the door to Narnia.

Incredible.

OK, I'd better go check them out today. Must almost be time for the other two to leave the safety of the nest. The camera operators will be busy and excited then.

I did see one of the Cornell people in the chat saying that with early fledglings, the life expectancy is lowered in the first year of life. Interesting.

Edited to say: Brrrrrrrrrr, looks freezing and windy there today.
