Followed them through out the day using the DVR and live coverage. Thankfully, Mom has a tendency to feed from the right side of the nest while standing in profile, making her feeds easier to follow. Dad has a tendency (but not always) to feed with his rump aimed our way and his feeds are blocked and hard to follow. Sometimes feeds are blocked d/t a breeze and moving foliage from the front branches. The view is all over the place when windy and it is difficult to follow anything during those times. I am trying to watch feeds to detect if she is overreaching at any time, maybe to get to a 2nd beak, but was unable to see that today. A dual feed would be nice!! They seemed to look and listen this morning, but the rains this afternoon made it impossible to follow up with any real changes in their behaviors towards what may or may not be happening or has already happened in the bowl.
0702: Mom got off the bowl and went to the edge of the nest and flew. 0703: Dad flew in and looks in the bowl, then stands to the side. Difficult to determine if blocked feed or what he is doing. 0712: He got on the bowl. 0750: Mom returns, Dad flies, she feeds the chick. Bites are a more hardy size compared to yesterday. 0756: She went to the bowl. 0810: She seems to be looking and listening as they do when they are hearing a chick from the egg or one hatching or could it be her chick is restless? 0811: She gets off the bowl and feeds the chick. 0815: Back to the bowl. 08:28-08:29: Looking down in the bowl and listening. 0917: Dad arrives with a fish delivery, then flies off. 0918: Mom watches intently outward from the nest, then up and flies. 0919: Mom returns with alerts. Pulled up fish that Dad had delivered and put it back down. 0921: She got on the bowl. 0951: Mom off bowl to eat and feed. 0956: Back to bowl. 1101: Eagle gets off bowl and flies. Here I expected it to be Mom, but body seemed smaller and I wondered if this is Dad. May have missed an exchange or miss ID'd to begin with. 1102: Mom flies in and alerts. 1104: She starts a feed, then just stands there, then alerts, then flew. 1106: Dad returns. 1108: He got on the bowl, then looks down in it and listens. 1150: He got off the bowl and eats and feeds. 1201: Back on the bowl. 1204: Moms back. 1205: Dad flies. 1206: Mom to bowl. 1330: Have gone through a heavy rain with wind and low visibility. Can see Mom now and she is soaked. 1333: Mom gets off the bowl, pulls up the fish and feeds. 1337: Back to the bowl. 1436: Up and out of bowl and blocked feed. 1440: Back to bowl. 1459: More rain and wind. 1514: Dad returns with prey I believe, then flies. Mom gets up to eat and feed. 1519: Back to bowl. 1530: More wind, rain, very strong. 1607: Rain continues. 1619: Mom gets off bowl, pulls up a fish, feeds. 1624: Back to bowl. 1711: Mom gets off bowl, feeds, eats. 1717: Back to bowl. 1815: Darkness fell.
