I stopped by Abby's nest this past Monday and was happy to finally see that there were what I thought was 2 chicks .
At this young age they spend most of their time laying low, so I'd never get more than a glimpse of one popping up for a second or two before disappearing again.
On Tuesday I stopped back when I had more time to observe.
John showed back up with lunch, flew into the nest for a minute, and then took back off to sit on a pole and make sure the fish was no longer flapping, before bringing it back to the kids.
When I was checking the series of shots I took as he was flying off with the fish, this was the very last shot in the series....and the only one that revealed that there are actually not two, but THREE chicks!! Triplets! How cool!
