I think the male chick got the last 3 snacks and the female isn't going after any of it.  I don't hear the crane anymore...wonder what's going on.  Have to go do my errands - I know I'll miss all the action as soon as I leave.  Good thing I have all you guys to post the play by play while I'm gone.   :)

I saw that one eating earlier, though - maybe it's just full and tired.  I'm going to assume that until proven otherwise.  :)

So...  I got to my meeting and said "do you really need me here?  Because some stuff came up over the weekend that I'd really like to get back to."

and back I am.  :)  I'm probably going to heck, but I didn't lie!

akkk, put those wings down!!!!!!!!!!!!!  My goodness.  Stretching of wings just filled the box.  I thought the wind was going to take him.   He is looking at his sibling as much to say, what is wrong with you.  Back to finishing his meal.

Wonder where they went with the food?  Down to the other chick?  Hmm.  Maybe to eat it themselves?  These ones didn't act very hungry.  Everyone too stressed out?  Thats when I eat! lol

That was seriously cool seeing mom (or dad) landing briefly then swooping away!
