The chicks have been born! According to our records nest building began on August 21st. On September 2nd they were still building the nest and on 8th they were sitting on eggs. On October 15th we photograhphed the chicks for the first time. 

Both parents incubate and feed the chicks. If pieces are too big for the chicks to ingest, they swallow them again to digest them a bit more.

Horacio found it along the Aliso Path. It was crossing the path into the vegetation. I was with my wife and phtographed it. The viper kept moving quietly. So, be careful when walking and do not bother it.
