It's been 6 weeks and three day since the first chick, AT, hatched and exactly six weeks for HT. The juveniles have been developing skills for flying by stretching and flapping their wings. Juveniles usually take their first flight seven to eight weeks after hatching. We haven't seen either of the juveniles hop and hover over the nest yet, but that may come soon.
Jasper has done a great job providing fish this year as well as assist Bea with fending off crows that been about the nest all season. The two juveniles often mimic Bea with tidying the nest and stretching their wings when a crow is too close.
