The Littlest Chick

The young ones are really cute. They are pure white and completely helpless. If you click your tongue at them, they will look at you. Again, I will have to post the pictures later. Most falcons have three young each, but some have four. At this point I have only seen chicks twice.

Despite lots of hours in the field, we have not found any new nests since the first day. We have returned to some old nests Rich had found previously to check on their progress and that is when we saw the chicks. We should get to see them grow up, which is great! This one is about a week old.
