Snuggling with the chick a lot today (only in the 50s with rain and wind).
Image

Lunch was around 1 p.m. Feeding lasted about 5 more minutes after last image (mostly Athena cleaning up what was left, but the chick was convinced to take a few extra bites). What a crop at the end! :teehee:

Priceless pic ljames!!

They sure are, Carly! It's a veteran pair: the tiercel, Six, has been here since 2006, and is 10 years old; Athena's logged a few additional years in both categories. :eggthumbup:

Feeding occured a little after 7:30 p.m. I only had the stills up for that one, but most of the action seemed just out of view. Chick was sacked out afterward, so didn't get a look at dat crop :teehee:

Was in and out today, but did catch 2 feedings (short one just after 3 p.m., longer one a little after 7 p.m.). Couldn't grab pics, but I'm sure the chick had a bulbous crop after the evening feeding :teehee:

Interesting dinner tonight. Six brought in prey and was feeding the chick!
Image
Image

Then Athena shows up with more prey!!
Image

Six left his prey in the box (in front of the chick), stayed a minute or 2 just outside, then took off. Athena began feeding...
Image

Then Athena dragged Six's prey over and started feeding from both!
Image
Image

Now Six is back with the chick.

I was watching that feed too, but glad you posted as I wouldn't have told the story nearly as well. The only thing I have to add is that I thought I saw the chick try to eat on it's own a bit from that prey before it was dragged over by Athena.

It was all so sweet.
:flirty:

Thanks for the nice pictures.

Yep it sure would've! Pretty sure that's the first time I've seen both adults in the box with each toting prey!

I'll see if I can arrange for an encore tomorrow :teehee:

Didn't see what was happening before this pic, but here's Six leaving with prey late this morning. Maybe he wanted an uninterrupted feeding today :teehee: Did catch a feeding around 9 a.m. Warm front passed through this morning, much warmer then yesterday's murk.
