woof...great scaps of our LSE baby!! Look at all that feather growth!! I've missed so much due to life in general and Phoenix. I need to go back and see what's been going on at this nest. Nice to see that she has her "jewelry".

beans...thanks for those links...great reading!!!

Y'all have been doing a great job with your scaps. I don't get much of a chance to see the cam. I'm going to post a bunch of pics that I borrowed from the forum so that Gusts' growth can be documented here on our forum.

These are from July 4th
