And they are still coming back for more.  :D  Almost every time that I have checked in on them today there has been food coming in.  I think that this is at least meal number 9.  And did you notice another one (or maybe the same one) swallowing a leg?  :P

Burrrr - I had to put a sweater on just to watch the wee ones. Hopefully we'll have some sunny warm days soon.

I caught the afternoon feeding - they sure enjoy meal time - it's like hitting the jack pot when I tune in and it's meal time or they are moving about. Others may not understand that - but if you are reading this board, I'm sure that you understand!

..., might even let them just hang out in the left-overs ....
That would be more than 24 hours with dead bird flesh in the box -- ICK
... Trey sitting on the vent to their right (you can just see his tail). 
At work, that's the best view I get -- A happy white breast facing out towards the eastern world!

And the kids are down for the count ... Trey sitting on the vent to their right (you can just see his tail).  Think he's dreading cleaning up tonight, might even let them just hang out in the left-overs ....

... oops, two of three woke to do some preening for all of 15 seconds then back to their chick-coma ...

One tried to take a foot, parent tried to take it back, parent lost!  Sib jumped on his back -- "Don't do it!  But I'm ready with the Heimlich if you need it!"  lol

Tracy - Thank you for such a thoughtful and thorough response. I am always moved, when I have the opportunity to communicate directly with an expert, to gain their insight and understand their feeling for what they do. In this instance, because you have allowed us to glimpse into a realm otherwise removed, you've shouldered a great deal of extra work to write, moderate, respond, and manage all of us. Our "humanizing" aspect seemed one of the most consistent traits and thus I was curious to know how this impacted you and your work. Thank you again, not just for your reply, but all  the work you do to assist the recovery of the peregrines.

It was nice to Trey having his turn at feeding the chicks.  Now it is back in the huddle.
