Baffled:
Feeding time! :D
It's great to see how the chicks grow and become more assertive about getting food, and take it from the parent's mouth, rather than waiting with mouths open to have the food put in. One chick just snatched a mouthful that was still attached to the dead bird by a long string of something (tendon? vein?) and needed the adult beak to snip the string for them. :-X
moka:
Vivianne, I love your description of the feather feeding.
Every year, they seem to try and swallow enormous pieces, sometimes with feet. In all my years of watching the falcon cam, I've never seen it turn out badly BUT I also stress every time and hold my breath. :o
irenekl:
Oh Vivianne, your not the only crazy. I'm sure everyone of the peregrine phanatics would be the exact same way. My family has observed me reacting to a mother stork killing its infant on live cam. I was definitely certifiable. I'm glad I didn't see this scene with the chick choking on the feather "live" but knowing the outcome I'd like to see it now.

A two-birdie chickpile doesn't look nearly as comfy. The 'third pole' this year is the nest box. ;)
