Start time 3:15 pm
End time 3:30 pm
Sunny, windy day
3:15: Two chicks visible. One chick is laying down in the foreground of the nest, fully visible (Chick 1). Another chick is laying behind chick 1, only feet visible (chick 2).
3:17: chick 2 shows its wing from behind chick 1
3:22 chick 2 shows outstretched wing again.
3:26: chick 2 stands up and starts to look around and make a high pitched noise.
3:27: smaller birds fly on to the branches of the tree
3:29: chick 2 starts to walk around the nest and stretch wings
Throughout my watch, chick 1 remained in the same position, only moving its head. Its head was almost always in motion during the 15 minutes
