Breakfast!

 

midnight snack!

Breakfast!

Wonder what got her up & out & back?

   

Dinner!

I see you mother coming-everybody right side up now!



I didn't flip any of them this time honey!

So all those pics of Stormin with "Erin", shading her broken body from the sun, was him actually protecting and mantling his prey?    

Well, he is Rhea Mae's son...

 Erin and Stormin are living on the west faces ledges of the same nest building. Yesterday 3p.m. food to the ledge. Both Erin and Stormin seen at the same time, on the same ledge. Both disappeared behind the dark, shadowy pillar.

Hmmm...maybe a new female?

One eyas is sneaking a bite of brunch!  

Oh that little stinker!

3rd breakfast!

OK, found one from last years hatch! The new little guy has some black under his wing!!

I don't know what it is but I've seen it on most of the new hatches here. I remember discussing it with someone on Orion and we were wondering if it was his late hatch. I didn't have time last night to go through all my saved photos but I found it back to 2013.

Everything bears watching...that's why we're here...but I don't see any reason to panic

We've seen those dark spots on every brood at Times Square. I don't honestly recall at Kodak-maybe I wasn't watching that closely back then. Could be a Beauty thing. I think DC was trying to figure out how to flip it without hurting it.

They were all up and feeding. All 3 have flopped over at one point or another. The 1st one was a yellow foot-this time it was a pink foot.  One of them flopped over a few minutes ago & righted itself just fine.

We can certainly ask DEC to look at the pictures if anything really seems amiss.

Thanks.  I know we've seen the dark spots before but they kind of scared me with all their comments plus I've been worrying about the baby falling over so much myself.

At this age I don't worry about the toppling. They really don't have any muscle control yet & they're wobbling all over the place.
