This is Ellie Mae! She hatched on May 15. I can't believe how fast she's growing. Whenever I go near her, The father just jumps up and moves away, but the mother will flap her wings and lunge at me LOL
Here are the parents

The other egg was infertile.

She somehow managed to cut herself on the wood on the bottom of the box...

Here she is next to the dud egg. I think she's going to be red like her dad

This morning, I found her out of the nest box for the first time
