Day 27 and counting for hawk chicks to hatch~
The best of my calculations is that today is most probably day 27
of the hen brooding her eggs. My guess is going to be two chicks and
truly this would be a good thing, for the nest could hardly support three
and an adult landing for feeding time, once the young Eyas begin to grow.
Incubation is 28 to 33 days~
