Eating seems to be their main interest. Last Sunday, their continuous feeding behavior reminded me of birds about to migrate.

This was last weekend. The chicks were about a week old then. I'm anxious to check out today's pics to see how much the chicks have changed in a week. They were still pretty tiny today.
