Oh no concerns here. I'm delighted that I'm seeing and learning things so soon! I was expecting changes along the way, just not as immediate. It's fascinating. Figure on daily pictures as Mikado goes through her quick change routine.

I'm trying to get some good shots of the Little Blue. If shiroji rises, it's doing so now, as is a little bit of sumi on its cheeks and dorsal area. We'll see if this ugly duckling turns into a beautiful swan.

The Tancho is a porker and the shiroji is getting brighter by the day. No great shots of it either--they're fast little buggers and the IR of the camera makes them move when the camera is trying to focus. 99% of what I'm getting is blurred to some degree....
