Love the video, Carolyn...I'm so glad he's getting to be with the baby...

I think Mary Ellen is in awe...she keeps poking the baby...I think she likes to wake it up so she can see it move...LOL

What strange behavior. ME was feeding baby, seemed ok enough, but when she finished, she went to stash it in the corner, then started to leave and then I think she tried to stash it under the baby, then feed the baby again, she repeated this series maybe 3 times before leaving the box with the prey. Dad has come in for a minute, but I see she just flew in, so he can forget it. Yep, here she is. She's fussing for him to leave but he wants to stay.

Just watched another feeding. ME is priceless for sure. Dad came in for a few to check things out while she was feeding. At the end still unsure how to handle the leftovers.

Sawatzke was priceless also, trying to figure out how to get by Mary Ellen. :teehee:

I also enjoyed your comparisons of the new mother vs. the pro mother, SGB! Its interesting to see what is instinct & what is learned by trial & error. So glad Mother Nature gave newly hatched chicks nourishment for the first 24 hours so they can survive new mothers. :flirty:

Enjoyed your video, Carolyn--that was hilarious when Sawatzke was trying to leave the box & couldn't get by ME! She seemed totally oblivious to everything but her baby, though!
:flirty:

I'm seeing some eggshell in the box so of course I wondered if there was another hatch or if maybe it is still there from the original hatch. I think they'll only have one baby this season, which is fine for a new mother.

From what I have seen there is still just the one
Dear "S" came in and she ripped him a new one for not bringing food I guess.
She is a mean girl and Bob & Amy are really going to have their hands full for sure.
:teehee:

"S" is floating in and out, the wind is bad today. Poor baby gets a foot roll from mom while she's screaming at dad

She is doing the cocked head again like she is listening, and of course I have to go to work, so it will be up to someone else to watch.

Still only one chick right now, but ME is doing a lot of shrugging, so that could change. It looks like she's still pecking at that chick, unless she's trying to clean bits of food off of it. Another falcon did that (don't remember the nest), but it seems like it was an experienced mom.

Daddy is getting a little time with his baby. He's been there for about 10 minutes so far so maybe ME is becoming a little less possessive about the baby.
