This is too exciting to wait until the next regular entry, so here's a quick mid-week update: We have a second chick! After leaving the second egg alone on the nest for long periods of time, one of the parents returned and finished incubating it and it hatched on Sunday, June 26th, one day after the first chick hatched. We now have two new members of Lake Wicwas, Coco and Jimmy:
Jimmy is on the left, Coco, just a bit larger, is on the right. |
