6:22......flies are still bothering BR today.



6:32......here's lookin' at you, kid.



Feeding begins


6:42 Ezra brings in fresh meat. BR speaks loudly to him. He leaves within one min.



6:46.......BR continues to offer food, but not much interest left. She's eating some.

7:00......digging in bowl in the wind.


7:03....time to settle in



7:10 nest is quiet


stepping away

wooooohooooo you polished off the day my Tx!! great job! and I had a nice break too on top! Now 'that's' a food coma after both your 4:30 and 6:00 feedings. By the way your time is right on your second feed cause I seen that and thought 'peep and ye shall receive' cause the little chublets were peeping away while in a heap

After BR was done eating after that 6 pm feeding she cleaned her talon that was holding the prey down, I seen that yesterday too. The one thing I've not seen here that we see with eaglets is the face washing the chicks do in the bedding that I love so much. I've not seen these guys do it once! Nor have I seen BR wipe her beak off either, just her talon...interesting huh?

Pris! sorry about your trouble yesterday my friend that's frustrating! I wanted to teach you something...when you hit "quote" button as you'll see, my entire post reposts so here's what to do. The quote starts and ends with code {quote} {/quote} but instead of the curly brackets they're square. I can't do it on here or it will activate. Anyway, save the name and the line that you are commenting to only and delete the rest leaving only the closing code {/quote} Then you'll end up with what this one looks like below of your earlier post....this included my whole post that was in yours but I cleaned up all but what was necessary
