As I was setting up my tripod, I saw another baby in a different tree across the street. His feathers seemed a bit more developed so I assumed he was the older of the two. As is typical of many birds, the first one to hatch gets a head start on the others, he'll end up being more aggressive which means he'll be better fed... a few days or sometimes even a few hours will make a significant difference in their overall development by the time they're a month old.
