Congratulations MEC management and staff!!
I had the opportunity to to make a quick stop at the MEC nest site today after my presentations in Milton, and as I has suspected,, we have confirmation of a hatch - TIMES THREE!! The adult male was currently keeping his new family members warm when the adult female arrived shortly after I arrived about 2:30 pm.. The pair did a shift change with the adult female arriving with food to feed her new family. The hatchlings (approx. 24 to 36 hours old at the oldest) only ate a thimble size portion of food that took the adult female all of 4 minutes to complete feeding all three hatchlings. Unable to hold their heads up for longer than a few seconds, they were each fed after some coaxing by the adult female. While the photos that I have added with this post aren’t the best as they were taken with with my point and shoot digital camera of the small TV monitor that displays the live camera image. Sadly, no leg bands of the either of the adults was observed during this visit. But its only a matter of time before we get an ID on the happy pair. Stay tuned……Enjoy!
