Egg to fledge is about 25 days

So, the Chick doesn't kiss and tell.  Admirable quality, but still getting visuals  :o :o    ;D

LOL  ;D

California has been having some bad weather of late has it not?  If they did, that could very well have been a contributing factor, particularly since the chicks are so small and so too are the parents ....

Is this the female (or nest) that had 3 or 4 clutches last year?  I can't remember ....  ???

Sad news from this site too -- it seems that on January 25, little Storm stopped moving, and only Sassy has survived.
