Thanks, bccs

I thought it was Smiley - dark head, left wing tip over right, etc. - but I didn't know if Princess was really giving him free reign over the chicks.  ;D  She wouldn't let him near them for very long when they were tiny. Good for Smiley!  

bccs:
Hey, thanks RCF   :-*

I am the first to admit that I am picture posting challenged.
But I promise to rectify this lack of skill within the next year or sooner.

RCF:
Bccs asked me to post a scap of the two chicks with their heads buried in the pebbles. She apologizes for not being able to perform this task herself.  ;D

bccs:
Okay, I'm going to go out on a limb here. A feeding started at 2:34 pm. One parent, one chick.  I believe it was Smiley feeding the chick due to the fact that the lunch was not plucked before hand and was done during the feeding. And that only one chick (greedy guts) was fed.
After about 5 minutes the other parent showed up with a meal for the other chick. This meal was less frantic, leading me to believe that it was Princess.
Neither parent showed enough of themselves to make a positive id, but given the behaviour, I'm going with Smiley for the first feeding and Princess for the second.

Again, I could be totally wrong.

Hi Sparkster.

Now the cam is misbehaving for me and it's hard to devote time to watching it.

Tracy, Vesper was my first peregrine love, Smiley is now my second.
