Cuddles at the Cornell Red-tailed hawk nest.
K-1 stretches out their wings, and K-3 gets a cozy wing blanket.
And more from Satakunta Osprey nest #1, where the chicks are still too small to arrange themselves any other way than in a pile. Warning for some headless fishes in the nest if that's something you'd like to avoid seeing.
A1 (left) and A3 having a peaceful feeding together, A2 is more sleepy than hungry this time.
Alma with her clutch of wiggly, squeaky chicken wings. From left to right: A3, A1, A2.
A less peaceful interaction between A1 and A3 while mom decorates and A2 again sleeps. The littlest one makes clear they're no pushover, and starts a fight with the oldest sibling. Didn't win it, but good effort.
Another feeding, with everyone in attendance. Left to right oldest to youngest. Good-sized crops on everyone by the end of the meal, relative to each chick's overall size.
No hatches yet at nest #3, but the female (Nuppu) has been acting pretty restless, and some viewers have reported hearing sounds from the eggs, so maybe tomorrow we'll have a pip? It'll be interesting comparing these three to newborn hatchlings - the oldest especially must be about triple their hatching size already.
