The chick's down is being replaced by black, wooly feathers and their legs are a greyish blue. It won't be long until their pin feathers come in and they will begin to resemble their parent's plumage.

The chicks, AG and HA, hatched 18 and 16 days ago, respectively. They are becoming quite mobile and as of today are moving small sticks and clumps of spanish moss about the nest. With the chicks hatching close together and the abundance of fish that Jasper is bringing to his family there hasn't been too much aggression between the siblings.
