First Sight

We're very excited! First sight of chick this morning, being fed breakfast by mother. Looks healthy. About 3 weeks old, we guess. We had a friendly visit from Shane & Mia on Saturday, doing their inspection rounds. As Shane noted, mother does not put food in chick's beak; she holds it in front of chick and chick has to pick and pull it from her. Training begins early! Here's our first pic of chick (poor quality phone-pic of camera-LCD of video-frame through telescope - but worth showing nonetheless). Expect more activity and blog updates soon!
