Breakfast is being served at Elk River to an enthusiastic and lively bunch of chicks.  ;D

uncovered, face-planted chickpile! 

Where else but amongst a bunch of peregrines nuts would this be said with such enthusiasm!?!  ::)

So now Dad is calling them in for the night.  The best they can do is stick their heads under his chest!  Gotta love Dad!

Amazing -- they went from sound asleep to obsolutely starving in 5 seconds, and the feed has been going on for ages!  They are still screaming like last feed was hours ago! lol

That was short-lived!  Now it's feeding time again.

Yup allikat, it's so cute!  Now he looks like he's decided, "If I'm not bog enough to cover them, I'll build a nest of pebbles and keep the heat in that way!" 
Or, maybe that there's some food (went back to look at the cam). Or, how 'bout that shot!  Dad looks over right shoulder, "What the heck was that?!"  lol

I love it when Dad tries to do his part  :-*
He looks like he's trying so hard but they just can't all fit under you anymore papa  :(
Be proud...your kids are growing and you're keeping them very well fed.

So this is what I think is happening (I know, you're all watching T&chicks!)...

Dad tried again to get them under him.  Too funny.  I think he's sitting on #4, but the other three, not a chance!  They didn't even move either time he tried - he got no forward advantage on them.  One even seemed to try to get under.. maybe he was just fussing, or maybe his head fell over, but it looked like he tried!  lol  They're all huddled up against dad.  He should be calling the little woman any time now -- the kids need to go to bed!
