Some ridiculous-looking feathered dinosaurs

The legends are true, they exist. [Warning for raptor prey visible in screenshots]

For the somewhat less ridiculous end of the spectrum, the Cornell Redtail chicks. They're starting to have their juvenile plumage grown in, even little K-3, who is in the foreground in the above screenshot. They still have those fluffy white pants under their smooth big bird feathers, though.

Synchronized tracking headtilt.

Meanwhile the nest #1 Satakunta osplets have their "plucked Velociraptor" phase in full swing.

First some beautiful sunrise shots mostly featuring mom Alma, though the chicks also make an appearance in this first one. Oldest chick A1 on the left, A2 facing directly towards the camera at the back, and little A3 closest to mom.

Feeding time. A good look at the different back markings of A1 (left) and A2 (middle).

A1 (left) and A2 (right) are starting to get darker facial markings. Eyes are getting lighter, too.

A2 looking up at mom. A3 in the middle is still baby down-faced, but that'll soon change.

Everybody looking up at the same time, finally.

The babier babies at nest #3, being served breakfast by mom Nuppu yesterday.

They already look so feisty. Older chick N1 is on the right, I'm pretty sure.

And this morning's breakfast. Dad Ahti watching and resting a foot, mom Nuppu feeding N2 (left) and N1 (right).

The sunrise was beautiful at this nest, too. Nuppu brooding and preening.

The babies alone for a moment. Or, they have a fish for company.

Second breakfast. Last I checked the third egg at nest #3 is still an egg.

ETA: And now it's a chick:
