!!! Cotton Ball Confirmation!!
June 29, 2010 - Etobicoke - William Osler
Tracy Simpson Reports:
As they have been affectionately referred to, there are now two lovely little “cotton ball” chicks at the William Osler site!! At 8:00pm this evening, thanks to the amazing folks in security, I was able to get an accurate count of the chicks that have hatched, totalling two so far. The adult female, who’s identification still eludes us, was revealing little to nothing of what she protected underneath her on such a chilly night in June. She was amazing at concealing the 2 to 3 day old chicks from the elements and my view until the resident adult male, Hurricane, made an appearance with food. Although the chicks are too young for feeding right now, the male is on top of it anyways, just in case. I will be checking back in over the weekend to see if the third egg has hatched and how our new parents are doing with their family.
Congratulations everyone at William Osler!!
