| Note: | Again this evening I observed the female bring in a small fish or portion of fish to the 2 chicks, they were laying down, 1 got up immediately and the second took its time to get in on the feeding. Have not seen the male on my visits to the nest. This is the difference between watching nest cams and going out in the field to observe a species in its surrounding territory. Timing can affect what we see, but also we see the interactions of the birds with their mates, other species, interlopers, in other words a full picture of the pairs nesting dynamic. | ||||||
