One chick keeps watch while the others sleep.
You see yesterday was quite an ordeal for the chicks. They had no idea that the window was going to swing open and a pair of gloved hands was going to pick each of them up and put them in a box.
Even after they were brought inside, the chicks were quiet yet curious. But when they were each taken out again, they got a little vocal.
After they each received their band and a clean bill of health, they were lined up for the big photo shoot.
Introducing the Woodmen Tower Falcons of 2012: three males and two females.
We had to shoot quickly because Zeus and Hera were getting worried and impatient.
