On July 12th, Congo showed what it meant to steal the fish from the feeding session and hang on to it.
The video starts with Hal delivering the fish to the nest. Wakati is up by Harriet with Congo figuring out the safest way to join in.

Re: Dunrovin Ranch MT Osprey cam . 2018
With these 2 being 6 weeks old now there is lots of sleeping alone on the nest, lots of preening... and even some flapping of the wings. I found them doing the first thing on the list when I brought up the came at 6:04 am.. I found out Harriet had left them around 5:20 am, alarm calls heard off cam view after she left. There have been more than their fare share of Intruders around this season, or so it seems.

6:38 am - Hal arrives with a fish for the chicks.. Harriet isn't around to take it and the chicks don't quite have it down yet that they need to go in aggressively and take the fish from him. They both vocalized expecting to be fed from Hal
( Congo more than Wakati ), which is not what he's going to do. His job now is to get them to be selfish and take the fish for their own. It's all a learning process.

Wakati is at the back and makes a move for the fish
Congo just needs to make room for the fish...

Wakati makes room now too...
Hal starts to secure the fish better in his talons.
The chicks watch.

They decide to do some flapping of those big wings, Congo first - still a bit unbalanced but practice will make perfect.

Wakati is next, much better than when she started out earlier in the week.

6:48 am - Harriet returns back to the nest, you can hear here long before you see her... which is usually the case with Harriet.
