LIL DAD IS STILL ON THE CORNER OF 333 MARKET TRYING TO FIND BREAKFAST. HE DID LEAVE AROUND 6:20 AND DO TWO CIRCLES AROUND THE LEDGE, I'M GUESSING CHECKING ON THE CHICKS AND THEN WENT BACK OVER TO 333 MARKET.

Small bird was dropped.

Boy! They are learning to pull that meat apart! Guess that's why they aren't fed all the time.

YEA, I GUESS THEY DON'T HAVE MUCH CHOICE. FUNNY, THE ONE IS MORE AGRESSIVE AND WILL TAKE THE FOOD AND DIG IN. THE OTHER ONE KINDA STANDS THERE AND SCREAMS OR WATCHES.

I THINK THE ONE CHICKS WONDERS WHERE HIS IS, LOL! MOSTLY I THINK HE WANTS FED BY AN ADULT THOUGH.

ADULT JUST FLEW FROM UNIV OVER TO THE LEDGE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COLUMN. ONE CHICK NOT EATING IS SCREAMING AGAIN.

EDIT: THE SCREAMER IS NOW TRYING TO EAT TOO. I LIKE HOW SO FAR AT THIS AGE, THEY AREN'T PULLING THE PREY AWAY AND MANTELING IT AWAY FROM THE OTHER ONE, AT LEAST THEY DO SHARE. NOT SURE EITHER ONE IS GETTING A WHOLE LOT OFF THIS PREY. HOPEFULLY LIL DAD WILL COME AND REALLY TEAR IT APART FOR THEM AND FEED THEM AFTER THEY TRY FOR A WHILE :-)

Every year that mic is interesting to the chicks.

7:36 No sign of either adult this morning. Eyases are on this side of the stick, and close to the window. They appear to be taking turns pecking at something. Nestover's?

Ah Oh! Were're posting the same thing again! LOL!

CONFIRMED THAT IT IS RED BOY WHO IS THE ONE WHO WILL TRY TO EAT BY HIMSELF MORE THAN BLUE BOY. BLUE BOY IS THE ONE WHO WILL SCREAM ALOT. EARLIER WHEN I SAID AN ADULT FLEW TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COLUMN, ALSO CONFIRMED THAT IT WAS NG AND SHE'S STILL THERE JUST SITTING THERE ON THE CORNER. LIL DAD STILL ON CORNER OF 333, TRYING FOR MORE FOOD I GUESS.

Just got caught up on all the posts from yesterday and this morning. Oh, it does my heart good to read that NG is coming around more and interacting more with the boys. I have felt sorry for her all along.

I really appreciated the ground reports, Reenie & Jane, and the family images, ljames. :loveheart2:

LIL DAD STILL ON CORNER OF 333. NOT ALOT OF BIRDS FLYING AROUND BEING AS IT KEEPS TRYING TO RAIN :-(

LIL DAD WAS JUST ON THE LEDGE. CARRIED A SCRAP DOWN THE LEDGE TO THE SCREAMING CHICKS AND THEN LEFT. TIME FOR MORE FOOD, HOPE HE FINDS SOME.

NG is on the stick. One of the boys came hopping down the ledge. Other one was already in front of the scrape. Didn't post this, but when I first tuned in this morning, one of the boys was sitting on the stick part on the ledge. NOT out the stick itself.

LIL DAD'S ON THE STICK, NG ON THE CORNER OF 333 MARKTET, MAYBE SHE'LL BRING THE CHICKS SOME FOOD, BUT I'M NOT GOING TO HOLD MY BREATH!

Jane · **Posted:** Mon May 14, 2012 10:23 am

I was just about to change what I posted. Lil Dad came to the ledge a moment ago, grabbed some piece of something, and flew off with it. One chick playing in the puddle up there.

NOW LIL DAD HAS PREY AND IS FEEDING THE CHICKS IN FRONT OF THE SCRAPE.

WONDERING IF IT WAS THE PREY HE GAVE THEM THIS MORNING? BECAUSE IT SURE LOOKS LIKE IT WAS A WHOLE LITTLE BIRD ALMOST. DID HE GRAB IT FROM AGAINST THE BLDG? THAT'S WHERE THEY WERE MESSING WITH IT LAST.
