The smaller one moves up to get some

5:40pm
The bigger one is mantling it

5:41pm
The smaller chick is wingercising

Where i was late tuning in..it could very well be that the parent fed the both of them first and the bigger one is eating the leftovers..

Jazzel.. is this the area you are talking about.... the smaller osprey was laying there in one of the caps above.....

Bet, yes, that's the spot. Keep in mind, I hate to be blunt but, if the nestling died in the nest it doesn't take long in the Florida heat for the body to reduce to feathers and bones. We won't know until after the remaining nestlings fledge and Barb checks the nest for the band.

Now we should just enjoy watching these two fledge A video of some nice flapping last night, and a poop shot, glad it didn't hit the cam

Bigger one moved in and stole it

It is hard to tell these two apart at times.. but it looks like the bigger one is getting the bulk of the food...
10:41am
Bigger one is still eating.. smaller one is sitting away from her/ him

10:52am--10:56am
OK smaller one is eating now..

11:02am
He/ she is still eating.. he is getting a good feed also

I know this is how it is... pecking order .. right.!! the oldest one gets the top choice of the food..
