Sawatzke brought the meal, then dropped it down from his feet as he sat on the perch.

Yesterday was not Sawatzke's day. I caught the beginning of a feeding before 8:00 a.m. and saw him dragging a robin around the back of the nest a couple of times. On the last round, the robin's foot knocked the smallest chick onto its back. Good grief!
Baffled:
The chicks get their third feed in under two hours! :o
Sawatzke brought the meal, then dropped it down from his feet as he sat on the perch. Mary Ellen flew off to collect and butcher the dead bird (it was reddish--Cardinal? Robin?), while Sawatzke spent some time with the chicks. All three chicks feeding eagerly.
ETA: later at 1:40pmCDT, another Cardinal appeared as a snack. Sawatzke is getting a chance to be with the chicks while Mary Ellen butchers the meal. These chicks are getting lots of food today!
RCF:
Morning feed..... Mary-Ellen gave one chick a leg which he/she eventually spit out. All three were sitting up and begging for breakfast.

Like the dots! Good idea! ;D

There was just another feeding but I could not see the little one in the middle being fed. It appeared that its head was stuck down between the other two, who were eating. S/he seemed to be chirping a lot, though. Oh. Someone just came with more food, but the little one in the middle still didn't get anything. Only one had a little food and then mom/dad took off with the meal.
I hope the little one gets its head up next time and gets fed.
