Just before leaving for home yesterday morning, Ted and Sheila checked Peggy Sue's nest to find that her eggs had disappeared! In their place were two very, very, very tiny black colored chicks with orange bills that we've named Cheep and Chirp. Or, maybe that should be Chirp and Cheep. As we can't tell one from the other we'll just decide the names are interchangeable.
I took the video yesterday morning when Peggy Sue left. Presumably to get food for her babies. I was in too much of a hurry for fear of keeping her away for too long. I took the still shot this morning, about 24 hours later and again was in a hurry so it's a bit out of focus. Hopefully, you'll get the idea.
We've been able to see Peggy Sue feeding the chicks by regurgitating from her bill into their mouths.
