Steller’s Jay 14-day-old chicks in nest near our window today. Juneau, Alaska.
Eyes wide open. Thick gray down. Feathers showing on wings.
Jostling each other for food & space.
Still 4 chicks in the nest.
Fed by both male & female, the chicks spend a lot of time alone while both adults forage.
See my previous posts for newly-hatched chicks & other updates.
Just a brief update as Kate and I are home for a few hours between two UnCruise Advenures wilderness cruises (7-days each) as Insider Hosts. Home again in 1 week.
