Can't believe the feed is still going! What piggies! :hapdance:

Feed just ended & they were all still standing, looking disappointed that there wasn't more! :flirty:

Thanks catwoman for the feeding info. I think that I may have just missed a feeding judging by their little crops and eagerness to snuggle up and sleep.

Beautiful Clara watching over her chicks.
Chicks hanging out.

The feeding in a nutshell. One in the back did get bites but not as many. He needs to find his aggressive side. One on the left kept trying to take bites from the others, successfully. Second to the left ate a foot. Think the one on the right end got the most but clearly the foot eater had food before I opened to the cam.

Ljames - Thank you so much for following this nest. I have been trying to watch SF and a few other sites and just haven't been able to open the cam that often. I appreciate your pictures and reports!

Caught the end of a feeding.

In the second picture, big one gets a leg and a foot, looked like. Last shot, two to the right are like, how did you get that down?

They hear their mom coming with food. She is now standing in front of them totally blocking the view.

this one on the left has definitely had it's share.

Clara fed chicks and they are covered with feathers.

The one is like what do you want to do now, preen some, flap some, then nap?

FC was in there feeding the chicks, I only caught the very end when that one little chick slowly fell over from the weight of his crop. FC may have just been finishing up a Clara feed, I don't know but he took away the leftovers.
