They're looking more and more confused at the current state of the world as they grow older. Much like myself.

When did it approximately hatch?

anon6789@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 11d

Excellent question!

They fledge at around 6 weeks, 42 days, so that would put it around June 25.

Eggs incubate for about 28 days, putting its laying date about May 28.

5 JUL - 10 days
12 JUL - 17 days
19 JUL - 24 days
25 JUL - 30 days
1 AUG - 37 days

I'm a little sad, as this may mean we're nearing the end of all these regular installments of Buffy pics. This nest has been a real boon to us Buffy fans.
