The little nestlings are getting ready to become fledglings in a couple of weeks. Wing flapping is very important to build the strength of the muscles they will need to make good flights.

 

This was what we would call a five o’clock feeding.

 

The two nestlings push Astrid back as they attempt to feed themselves a few times. She feeds them as quickly as possible while they continue to beg for more!

Too hot for a lot of meals this afternoon….this meal had to hold them over until just after 7 tonight.

 

Both young were fed about 5am – they are even starting to pick at the prey themselves.
