MN / Elk River - 2008-22

:( Parent looses tug of war again for food. Parent tried though but they're too much for her now I think..one bird is a happy camper tho - other 2 sitting there stunned. I can see why they send their kids off happily in the Fall..hehe..probably need the 6 months just to recover from all the trauma!!
carly:
Pffft..another food drop and same little piggie grabs it from parent - tug of war - piggie wins and runs into corner but other 2 give chase and wrestle it away from him. Parent runs for life!
carly:
The one that got the food went into the corner and napped after he stuffed his face - it's the corner closest to the camera so that may be why you didn't see him/her. I was watching so I saw him go in and kind of disappear. And yes they are too young to fledge yet.

I only saw 2 chicks at Great River/Elk River this morning ... but now when I just went back all 3 are there again. ARGH! Did one fly and come back? Is it too early for that? There doesn't seem to be much room for one to hide from camera view now - in the 4 days that I missed seeing them they grew SO much. Can anyone comment on my chick mystery this morning. I swear I only saw 2 of them 15 minutes ago!
carly:
8:43 am food came in, one grabbed it and ran in corner and ate it all while other 2 cried. I think that must be dad who brought it in, he seems kind of scared of them and just kind of drops the food and runs whereas mom seems to know how to control the situation.
