Nearly Ready to Leave the Nest

 Today I watched the chicks stand up to turn around in the nest, preen their feathers with their beaks as well as by scratching with their feet.  
One even stood up to try out his wings and at a 1/125th second shutter speed the blur of the wings made them almost invisible. 
I believe they are completing their preflight checklist and are very nearly ready to go.
