Chicks are trying out their wings

I thought the chicks would leave the nest today, they were very active trying out their wings and mom was around a lot. But then they went to sleep.... like tired babies.
Here the bigger chick is essentially standing on the little one.

A day later, the first chick fledged!! on June 26, 2011
