It is a remarkable season to see both chicks looking pristine & fluffy white at 13 weeks old (twelve weeks for TFT) 💕 I think most of the chicks have at least one spill since entering post guard stage - mostly from the adolescent albatross that return to socialize & come over & pick on the chicks. This season both chicks have escaped having a spill - which results in these very clean, white and fluffy looking chicks!!

The coverage starts with TFT getting up to PS and to do some wingers. Then the cam pans over to the TF who is preening mostly and then goes off his nest to garden but changes his mind and heads right back to the nest. Both chicks are eliminating very well - parents are coming in frequently to feed. Thank you for watching!
