At least one of the adult birds seems to know how to feed. It may look like the chicks aren't getting much, but they are only a few days old, and we're probably getting used to seeing the massive amounts being swallowed by the Radisson four!
RCF:
I think all the chicks got fed at least a little bit, but they are just little and probably don't really need to eat a lot.

Perhaps the chick that appears dead and can hardly get up to feed was only hatched overnight?? Not sure when the fourth hatch happened.
irenekl:
Goodmorning folks. I've been watching a feeding this morning and this mom seems to be lost in terms of how to feed the chicks. She really struggles with which screaming chick should get the little bite so she ends up swallowing it herself. Over and over again. One chick in the middle of the feeding frenzy appeared to be dead then after quite some time got up but is now lying down again. I'll be amazed if four chicks survive and fledge. I found this early morning feeding hard to watch, 6:15'ish. If anyone else has observed a feeding I'd be interested to know how it went.
Pam:
Thanks, RCF, I've been remiss in checking this cam!
