Harriet takes control of the fish and the feeding.. she eats first

My own thoughts on this : I think this is a teaching lesson for the chicks on how to take and posses the fish. They need to figure out how to be an Osprey.

Hal has gone up to the perch, While Harriet is vocalizing loudly while eating, Hal is suddenly heard alarm calling - " chirps "

The threat seems to be gone and clam returns to the nest.. Harriet returns to the task at hand, feeding herself and the chicks.

I do want to mention.. while this is going on you can hear young Black Billed Magpie chicks begging for food from their parents - so they have already fledged their brood for this season.
