Congo doesn't join in on the feeding, the first fish was mostly fed to Congo so that's probably why.

Hal is on the perch when the cam moves back out.

They are doing well at this stage of their lives... I'm sure that by next weekend one of them will have been brave enough to take that first big leap of faith. I'm hoping to catch the big event but I have my vacation coming up too. I'll be heading back to the ranch sometime in August.

:bye 1: for now.

weather update...

july 29 dunrovin weather.JPG

So I decided to take a few moments and check in on these two this afternoon. They are still hanging out on the nest.. fish deliveries are still being made... and they have been doing lots of flight training during the past week.

Here's an example of just one of the deliveries made by Harriet. Hal is on the perch during this feeding.

Hal leaves, both chicks follow his flight which seemed to bring him back over the nest but he didn't land.
( at least I think it was him. )
