Good news! At around 4:30 by the nests clock, I found Elaine happily feeding her two hatches. The hatches both looked strong and alert.

Oh man, food fight at Elaine’s house! Mom is dishing out the prey as fast as she can but those growing chicks want MORE!

Thanks for the video, Terka! I was glad Newman came to the nest to watch the chicks, but I wonder if Elaine is doing the prey gathering for her chicks?

Okay, I guess Elaine has her own feeding technique…. One bite for you, two for mom…one bite for you two for mom….Her kids are looking good though :10sum:

Thanks, Catwoman!

Elaines kids were complaining about the food service today, and in came Elaine with a small ish prey item. All 4 crowded around her as she expertly divided up the prey. They were still hollering when the prey was gone- I wonder if she or Newman Will bring in more prey? Seems like she is doing a great job considering she is a first time mom…. :loveheart:

Checking the nest cam at GSB I found 4 sleeping eyases, no parent. Then switching to the cliff cam, mom is sitting on top of the cam :smile:

. I’m wondering if she has seen owls yet…. Was Michele able to defend against them?
