Turkey vulture chicks grow really fast, like other raptors.  About noon today, both parents were there to feed the chicks.  Then both parents left.  You can hear them stepping across the wooden floor of the barn loft.

The vulture chicks are moving around and almost standing now.

The chicks are doing fine at the Turkey Vulture barn loft.  Their wings have gotten long and dark feathers are coming in on the edges.  They are a bit more aggressive about getting food from the parents.  All good here.

Almost a week since last pics, and the chicks have developed big feet and big wings with dark primary feathers.

Camera showing color, and found one chick sitting on a hay bale this afternoon.

The live cam seems to be turned off at the Turkey Vulture barn loft.  I can't find live streaming via Explore or YouTube.  Anybody have info?

Turkey vulture chicks seem to be doing fine.  They are gowing, have long wings now, very black and white.

Live feed working this morning at the TV loft.  The chicks have grown and developed more dark feathers since last week, as expected.

[STLbf]

Bigger and darker this morning.  Chicks were looking out a small opening in the barn loft for a while.

[STLbf]

Chicks look OK this morning, as expected.

Chicks doing well.  One pic of a parent feeding one chick. Testing of wings and walking around.
Chicks are about 56 days old today.  They fledge in 60 to 84 days, a wide range!

[STLbf]

Live stream turned off again this morning.

[STLbf]

Checking the TV camera this afternoon, it looks like the TV chicks may have fledged.  Nice view out the loft door.
I was away for a few days, so please, if you know about a fledge, please post a note.
