Kissy, kissy. No, one of two stuffed food in her mouth, and the other one's trying to get it! :teehee:

Everybody's back in the nest.

Thanks, catwoman! When I was here a couple hours ago or so, all 4 were still in the nest. Not sure now, because lights are out, but they are bunched up in the left corner and I can make out at least 3.

Mom just in with prey. Two chicks are in the nest and can see one that is lying to the left of the box toward the rear of it. Will see if the other two decide to join the feed. After several minutes, the third one came out and walked in front of the nest and vocal, but made no attempt to get in the box and went back and squeezed through the narrow opening. At that time saw a quick glimpse of the fourth chick's head who is further back than the third one. In a bit, the third one squeezed through the opening again and did go into the nest and Mom did turn around and gave it a bite or two. Feeding over and Mom left. Could see the forth one move about a little, but made no attempt to come out. Just before the third one went into the nest, Mom had stopped the feed and was looking above and vocal as if she saw something flying above that she did not want there. As I leave, the third one has come back out of the nest and is leaning against the right wall.

(hilarious)...Mom (or could have been dad) just came to do a feed. Nobody cared and so she left.

Edit to add pics

Brunch for no one...

As I was typing, mom came back and now a feed going on for the box kids...I'll see who comes out of hiding to eat.

Feed is now over...

Brunch started in the box with 2. 2 on the side

With great difficulty, #3 worked to squeeze past #4. Wasn't easy as #4 wouldn't move.

Spent a few seconds playing with Mom's tail.

After several tries, it made it into the box and got a few bites.

#4 decided to come out....but it was too late.

They just took control of the cam with a close up of Mom in the nest with one chick. Can see another chick squeezed in to the left of the nest.

All chicks are out of the nest. Wonder if that is the baby leaning against the wall panting heavily? It is in the shade. Temp is 95 right now per the weather source I selected. It is lying down now.

Mom in with prey and getting it defeathered, but chicks are not gathering around. Okay, they won't come to her, so she went to the only chick fully visible that was up against the wall. It is eating. I think it is one of the older ones. She fed it for awhile, then stopped the feed and walked out to in front of nest toward the center and stood, but no other takers came out and she flew off with the remains.

Private feed in progress. The other chicks are against the right wall. The parent is well out in front of the nest feeding the one. It's 23:16 real time. Cloudy night is allowing visibility of the nest and surroundings. One of the wall chicks decided to join in on the feed. There may have been just 2 chicks against the wall. Parent left at 23:19. Pretty sure now I am only seeing 3 chicks and do not know where the 4th one is.

Also from Wednesday, 5/27, at 5:30 pm....may explain why everyone didn't rush to eat later. The chick laying down is the one that was panting so hard. It must be considerably cooler on that left side as both chicks that cam from that side weren't panting at all until later.

Chick #4 never came out for the feed. he did come out a little later..
