Waiting for owl chicks to hatch

Time is so far that within the next three days from Sunday  the owl chicks should begin to hatch, nicely in order, the eggs laid first coming first  …
 
On April 9th it was a full month since the egg-laying started, but Klaara laid her eggs every other day and started brooding a little later. Male Klaus feeds the brooding female bird with small rodents; there are enough of them, this year is a mouse year. Last year they fed on frogs and the chicks were also given earthworms.  
 
Klaara has become fidgety on the nest. She goes out to stretch her wings in the evening, after nine o’clock, then we can see if there are “news” in the nest. About six o’clock in the morning Klaara also leaves the nest.
 
The forum keeps an eye on events, it is a good place to find the news; the link takes  you to this Sunday’s doings in the owl nest: LINK
