I've got some pics...but, that was Odd....Dad left his post and went to the perch....then the point...I think Mom came back with food (for herself), but was hidden behind the orange column...she's now back in the scrape. No feed.

Edit to add pics

I also have had only a brief look at the chicks today. The only feeding I'm aware of was early this morning.

Feeding. The bigger one seemed full and the little guy got many bites, although he is still wobbly. Lil'Dad is on the stick watching.

oops, one baby fell over but got right back up.

Watched most of a feeding from just before 6 this morning to just after. From what I saw, Niecey fed the chicks, ate some herself, removed the carcass, and returned quickly to cover the little ones. I couldn’t see both chicks being fed, but Niecey did make her clucking/feeding sounds at the end of the meal, and I could see one little one sort of laying its head away; also, neither one alerted when she returned to the scrape so it would seem both got fed.

Thanks for your post, Finchy. It's good to see you on here! The morning sunshine has quickly faded and the clouds are rolling in ahead of some weather event that's headed our way.

Nice capture of Little Dad on his camera perch, SGB. I also watched that feeding that took place about an hour ago. Niecey is back after Little Dad got some chick and egg time.

So Lil' Dad begged to get on the chicks, and she finally let him, but it didn't last long.

Dad wants to be with children, walks over, flew away, returned.

He had the pleasure of hugging his children for a moment.
