Hatchling chicks. I believe there to be five in this small nest.
I've been watching a pair of nesting Ravens for a few weeks and chicks have hatched (visible in the first photo, here, and in the next posted observation). The Ravens chose to nest on a precarious cliff face in territory occupied during the last five years by Bald Eagles, but a pair of Peregrine Falcons have taken up residence here as well and the Eagles seem to have been driven away. The activities of the Ravens in gathering food and feeding chicks attracts the interest of the Peregrines and, yesterday, attracted an American Kestrel.

The family of local Crows has discovered the Barred Owl that has been hunting the yard daily.
