Lori, the feeding video is great! They both ate quite a bit. At the 2:15 + mark, you can see the chick in the egg moving. Great! Thank you!

Hi Naoma!

thanks Besties

3:32 - 3:38 I came back to BR eating whatever the black thing was, no offer of food till the very end then she left. One min. 42 seconds later Ezra came in, stood a bit then set about brooding. While they were alone the one chick climbed right on top of the other, not sure who's who but it was cute

3:33 BR eating chick and egg seen



chick goes chick climbing :lol:



Ezra brooding



3:45 BR back with a strip of bark, Ezra flies off and BR gets on chicks and hatchlet

This is when Ezra first arrives @ 3:22





I think Mod said black thing was pigeon.
#1 played "dog pile" on #2 & Pippy

Lori, yes BR grabbed the pigeon and was eating it before she took off. I have about the same s'caps I think. Had a very important phone call and missed posting sooner.

Naoma, yep got the same ones I think. Will check back in case I got anything different.

Ezra has fed #1 before and I missed it. This is the first time I have seen him feed. He is so pretty. Wow! He also brought in more food. Think it is a large rodent.

great catches my Tx! I love how the bands are on opposite legs not that telling these two apart is an issue though. Thanks for the 'black thing' ID, she laid a major beating so the poor girl was hungry. I thought it looked furry but there ya go

hope everything is ok Nanc!

4:08 beautiful light on the nest and BR watches something. She gets up and I thought Ezra was coming with food but she left



chicks were unattended for 4 min's and a bit and #1 was going after everything



4:13 Ezra to the rescue, he stands a little then heads for the bowl and chicks



for the next hour or so

4:05 Fussing with nest



4:06 Digging



Appx 4:10 alone again; then 4:13 BR is back & settles in to brood & munch on whatever that is in front of her.

You guys are a lot quicker & more accurate than i am.

I may have gotten BR & E mixed up in the last post. In person i can tell from the size whether it's female or male. This camera trips me up a little. His band is on left leg, her's on the right.....correct?

Break time....need to clean out some cookies. & gotta call the water co. to report "I got none".

no races or accuracy tests here my Tx, all help is greatly appreciated by all. Oh good grief, I hope they come right away!

yes BR right Ezra left



4:48 BR brooding, was away so don't know when they switched



such a sweet and beautiful pair here! looooove them!

back to making supper
