Mom's at the lip in her wind blown, feathers looking gorgeous and can only see a partial view of the chicks behind her. All is quiet. For now you can see into the nest even though the parapet lights are out.

Mom just finished up another one of those noisy feeds. One of the bigger chicks walked away during the feed with a big hunk in it's beak and I thought it was going to try to eat it, but it did not. Just dropped it to the floor instead and walked back to the feed.

Chicks are currently alone in the nest, but I'm sure Mom is nearby, just off cam. I checked on them earlier today a couple of times and same thing, but all look great. Right now one of the chicks that is asleep looks to have a clump of red meat from a feed on its neck.

The chicks are in a pile to the far right that is partially out of view and am unable to see where 1 begins and the other ends. Occasional vocals. Parents not seen on cam view.

The chicks are really getting cute now. How they've grown!

Yay! Finally get to see Mom. She is standing on the lip in the center of the nest with her back to us and wings relaxed and spread down and out. She has a set of 2 chicks on either side of her sleeping in the nest.

Feed in progress with such screaming when the sound came in, it caused my knees to jerk in reflex to the scare it gave me! The 3 older ones are being fed in the right corner and the youngest was off to the left initially, but eventually walked over to be fed. One with a large crop laid down. The feed continues as I leave. They have pulled the cam back just a little and can see a small portion of the parapet.

We've got a nighttime feed in progress!

And it's over and one of the bigger ones found a morsel and is self feeding with it between his talons. Mom's back. I don't have sound. Has anyone else lost the sound here? And Mom is gone.
