Too hot for a lot of meals this afternoon….this meal had to hold them over until just after 7 tonight.
Here was a feeding from early this evening. Note how the nestling tracks its parent coming to the box with food. Also note the wing/tail feather development and mask which is particularly evident in the older chick.
Both young were fed about 5am – they are even starting to pick at the prey themselves.
The hunting would seem to be good today. We’ve seen prey coming in about every two hours starting at 1:00 AM. This video clip was from this morning at around 6:00.

The chicks were fed at about 1am, 3am and again at this feeding about 6am!
