Camera was back up for a few minutes before freezing again.
Mom and the two chicks were standing looking out at the side of the nest.

I got the cam up at about 1:15 pm EDT, then it froze!! I did get one pic, she had a fish, you can see the tail under her...I don't know how much the nestlings ended up getting

The nest does look like it's doing better, more sticks and nestlings growing

Thanks for spotting the fish Jazzel. It makes me feel better knowing they were fed. It's frustrating watching a freezing camera and not knowing what we've missed.

1:24 pm
Mom's standing with a chick on either side of her.

Smaller chick had her talon caught in the bale twine. Thank goodness she was able to free herself.

WEDNESDAY, JULY 28, 2010

WEATHER: Sunny, High 32C

6:08 am
Chicks sleeping.
Cam continues to do it's freezing again today.

6:46 am
Chicks are peeping as Mom comes in for a landing.
She arrived with a clump of nesting material ---- no breakfast.

The picture is freezing more than the sound is. I hope we're not in for another day of not being able to see what's happening at this nest.

7:10 am
Dad arrived with a fish. Mom is on it instantly and mantles.

7:12 am
Mom begins pulling the fish apart and feeding the chicks.

This is the first time she's actually fed them in full view of the camera. Usually she's off to the side or has her back to the camera.

7:18 am
The chick on the left is getting the majority of the fish but because of where the second chick is standing it makes it difficult for Mom to reach him but she does manage to make sure he gets a feeding.

7:22 am
Feeding is over.
