Mom & Two Hatchlings

It was chilly this morning. This was about 10:30 a.m. and the mother was staying nearby until it warmed up a little more. The smaller hatchling was snoozing and out of sight.

Mother and the larger hatchling.

I waited for a least an hour for the second baby to wake up and was just about to give up when sleepy began to stir a little—and then promptly went back to sleep. Have not seen any evidence of a third one for the last several days, so I have pretty much conceded that we have just two this year.

And finally the second one wakes up!
