Checking in on the Turkey Vulture chicks, and caught on stretching out a very long wing!  More dark feathers every day.

Both Turkey Vulture chicks seem OK today.  The timing device on the rewind is not working as expected.

I didn't see this earlier post.  Is Forum on the blink as well?

Clarinda, far as I can tell, the Forum is working just fine.

FYI, the GSB camera is back live this afternoon.  I just posted some pics from about 3:00.  It's really hazy there; probably wildfire smoke coming from Canada.  Smoke supposed to be heavy in Missouri too this weekend, according to TV weather report.

MO-TVs timing feature is working correctly this morning.  Chicks OK also.

The chicks get bigger. Testing wings, clumping around the loft area.

Clarinda, thanks for the feeding pics!

It's been so hot and food deliveries are the only source of water/moisture.

Great pics, Clarinda.  Those juvie vultures better not fly the coop just yet!  But it's getting close.
Last year, August 8 was fledge day for at least one of them.  Almost all dark feathers by then.

Youngsters sitting in the loft doorway about noon, listening to the rain and thunder.  Sounds like clog dancing on the  wooden floor!
