Glad to see that, Terka!!!

At least today, JJ seems to be doing all the feeding...

Found Mom at approximately 3:30 am attempting a feed...it was strange, to say the least. Kids had been sound asleep...mom comes in. Not sure if she couldn't really see what was going on, but getting food to beak was interesting...and only 1 chick even cared.

She hasn't been on cam since the above pic. JJ has been in to feed at least 3 times!! Maybe Mom has taken over the hunting and JJ the feeding.

Mom doing a feed.

Around 5ish....Mom comes in with food...but, mainly just walks around with it, puts it down, picks it up and walks some more. frankly, she looks like a deer in headlights. She does not feed...then leaves without it.

Kids later find it and try self-feeding

JJ comes in, finds it and starts a feed. He has to move all over the box to keep the kids from overwhelming him.

Mom...with very small prey that the kids kept stealing..

So far today, they have NOT had a decent feed.

The camera is stopping and starting a bit today. It looks like both JJ and Tawny have visited and fed the chicks, they had crops and seemed good as of a few minutes ago.

I have tons Of pics I haven't posted...but, I've been a little concerned here with the lack of food. They were very food aggressive on 5/24 and 5/25...and were left to basically fend for themselves with either leftovers they found or leftovers stolen from parents when they came in.

On 5/25, Mom showed up with an intact starling. (I'll try to post those pics eventually)...kids were so hungry, they were pecking at each other. They stole the food from mom. She made a slight attempt to get it back. The kids had to learn how to defeather...which took a long time...but, they managed to do it.

Much happier to see the controlled Mom feed yesterday.

Nice long feed from JJ this morning..

The kids were banded a little while ago...the DVR is a hot mess...and I think they may have turned it off...I don't know.

Only thing I could find...

Good news/bad news is that they didn't take the kids...

I just wished they had fixed the position of the cam...or maybe they couldn't. Like I said before, unless they can zoom it out, we'll never see the kids once they leave the box.

I agree I was concerned about food delivery and feedings for a couple of days. 5/26 was better. I also think the “jumpy” cam and rewind possibly causes us to miss some parent visits. I’ll notice they have a crop but can’t find when the ate.

Mom Tawny has been back since the banding and brought and fed them leftovers. They must stash prey nearby?

So, we have:

b/g 36/BN
b/g 37/BN

One more band to get....

But check out 36/BN...LOL

Edit to add: I've only managed to get a partial on the 3rd band:

b/g ?4/BK (I think)

Only the DVR seems to be working right now.

Hi,
I think the other band is 14/BK

I’m concerned about the parents today. In the 5 or 6 hours since the cam is back I haven’t seen them or seen a feeding. Is there anyone to contact if the absence continues?
Thanks,
Kathy
