And we're over it now! Feeding of 2 chicks taking place ;) Oh they are adorable :-* :-*
carly:
I was just on another site and apparently Scout does have issues sometimes with feeding her chicks, she thinks they will come to her and doesn't realize they are too young to walk yet. They said she did the same thing last year and again she left without feeding them :-\. She stands too far away, almost like she's afraid of them...very interesting. Obviously she figures it out at some point as they all were raised to fledge last year :P
Moonstar:
Thanks for the video. I can't see any of the camera's at work. They have disabled the viewers. You made it possible for me to see the chick right after hatching.

Great video SGB...I still find it absolutely amazing watching these raptors with their little delicate chicks. Listening to them vocalize while feeding, feeding them while tearing apart their kill to feel their young. Truly awe-inspiring!
allikat:
Sooooo cute...At least I got to see this live ;D
I was watching her trying to get the little chick under with the eggshell and wasn't succeeding. Both TPC and I were telling her to get the new born chick under her and I was picking away at the screen with hopes that I could magically make the eggshell move ::)
