The chicks are getting big! They’re beginning to get their first feathers. Soon, they’ll look like grumpy old men 😉

I’ve been out on a local pond watching the loons and other wildlife. There seems to be a pair of loons that have claimed the pond, but every morning two to four other loons come in to challenge them. I’ll be keeping track of them throughout the year and hope to find two families that hatch chicks to follow.

We’re watching eastern bluebird chicks in a nest in a box that has a camera installed to let us watch without disturbing them.
