Now three buzzard eyases

Screenshots of the Cornell Redtail chicks. All three have now hatched, although not yet in this screenshot (M1 left, M2 right). Warning for closeups of bloody prey.

A baby peeking out from under mom's feather skirts, must be preened. Not sure which one this is.

M2, M1...
And behind them, M3 has just gotten the shell open!
More baby peekaboos.
And a peek of M3 (right under mom's head), resting and gathering strength after the effort hatching takes.
At a feeding. M3 still looks very wet and pathetic, but yes, that's a raptor.

Siblings the next day while mom is off the nest for a moment, napping on their cozy pile of corpses. M3 on the left is looking a lot floofier now. M2 on the right, and M1 behind them, I think.

Snacks for all.
