That's something I've never watched before. Lil Dad had a little morsel of food. He finally went around to where he could actually give a couple chicks a couple bites. Niecey didn't budge from brooding the entire time, but he managed to feed the few bites he had.

BUT HE DID LOOK AT NIECEY EACH TIME TO MAKE SURE SHE WOULDN'T PECK HIM IN THE HEAD! LOL!

Just when you think, that you got those two figured out. Then they go and do something so cool, that warms your heart. :loveshow:

Just saw another rather short feeding. Seeing a yellow bird leg up there, and think it might be part of a Robin. :-(

At the moment it's not raining very hard here. Heaviest rain is to arrive between 3:00 and 4:00 this afternoon.

JUST CAUGHT A TAIL END OF A FEEDING, SO NOT SURE WHAT THEY HAD. HEARD LIL DAD DO HIS CHARLIE BROWN NOISE AND NIECEY LEFT THE SCRAPE. MAYBE HE TOLD HER TO GET MORE FOOD?

BTW, THESE TWO WERE SEEN CANOODLING TWO DAYS AGO! I'M THINKING LIL DAD WAS JUST TRYING TO GET SOMETHING HE WANTED, LOL!

EDIT: NOW LIL DAD IS WITH THE CHICKS AGAIN!

That was another VERY short feeding. Lil Dad was in there, and just hopped up on the shield. I was sure I heard a canoodle a couple days ago. It is barely raining at my place at the moment, but I know it's not done yet.

Lil Dad just brought in another very small meal. The conditions here today are horrible for him to be hunting, although at the moment it's not raining.

JANE'S PIC FROM TODAY AND ONE FROM YESTERDAY.

Thanks to Reenie for posting my pictures. On that second one from yesterday, they were both feeding the chicks. :-)

Niecey must be out hunting for something more significant right now since there's a break in the rain. It has warmed (?) up to 51 degrees here.

We have had almost 4" of rain so far and it's not over yet. there is so much water everywhere on the roads. Can't imagine how wonderful these parents are keeping those babies so well fed.

Poop shot! LOL!!

Hear Lil Dad around somewhere.

Picture breaking up some!

Wow! Lil Dad just brought more food in.

Aww! He left with it. They are stuffed! Now he is fussing over them.

AFTER NIECEY FED THEM, LIL DAD WENT IN AND WAS GOING TO SPEND SOME TIME, SHE CAME BACK AND CHASED HIM OUT :-(

Jane · **Posted:** Wed Apr 30, 2014 3:28 pm

That was a nice long feeding The best of the day. I suppose Niecey caught whatever it was herself, as Lil Dad was there when she brought it in. After the feeding, she left with the remains, and immediately Lil Dad was there to check on things. Niecey is back. I see it's starting to drip at my place again.

Faith · **Posted:** Wed Apr 30, 2014 3:28 pm

I think I am wrong again. It is Niecey with them now. They did a quick exchange about 10 minutes ago.

Bless them in this hardest of times.

Niecey just finished a pretty long feeding. For the first time today you can see that food is in their crops. Wind hasn't quit here, but it's not been raining for about an hour. Might be dripping a bit now. :-(

Lil Dad brought food in. These two are working together so well at this bad weather day!
I see the start of some dark feathers.

Jane · **Posted:** Wed Apr 30, 2014 6:20 pm

Lil Dad just made an EXTREMELY small food delivery. Barely enough for each chick to get a bite. Not sure each chick got anything.

LIL DAD JUST HIGH TAILED IT OUT THE BACKDOOR, LOL!

Faith · **Posted:** Wed Apr 30, 2014 6:26 pm

OH! So cute. Lil Dad came in looking all around... like were is the food I brought? Then Niecey comes in, they had a few words and Lil Dad went out the back door.!! SWEET!!

Faith · **Posted:** Wed Apr 30, 2014 6:28 pm

How endearing Niecey looks at her babies under her!! Wonderful!
