Growing Eyases Eating Often

Beauty and the Eyases

After only two weeks the pair of eyases are growing like weeds. It almost seems like you can see them getting bigger right before your eyes.

Beauty is feeding them several times each day, with Archer doing much of the hunting. He visits the eyases too, but Beauty has been taking care of most of the feeding duty. By the end of this month they should be just about ready to leave the nest. But between now and then they still have a lot of growing left to do. You can see feathers just beginning to grow on their wings and tail. Growing feathers takes even more energy, so expect the feedings to continue at their current pace, or even to increase a little.

   I noticed yesterday that the nestbox had a *lot* of feathers in it.

   I like the feature where the underlined word “eyases” is defined.
   All in good time, Debbie, Jess will not neglect to tell us.

   Thank you for keeping us informed, and the great new streaming video! A very exciting year – although I do wonder about Mariah’s whereabouts too.
