Beautiful close-ups.....thank you zoomie
Sorry about the 2nd pic, Dad flew in, saw everything under control and flew out right infront of the screenshot.....go figure!

After a nice nap in the open bowl with the sun shinning over them, waking up and getting a very good feeding, it's time to be covered back up and get some mom love nap in. See you in a few hours little one's.

Afternoon feeding, itty-bitty is giving mom trouble to feed h/she due to keeping it's head down, maybe not to get bonked, but did see her land a few bites for the little one. Winds have picked back up.

Gosh itty-bitty is getting some good bites in but my fingers just aren't fast enough!
Darn trigger finger!

Very good feeding happening.

Finally getting some pic's of itty-bitty getting food

[rainna4]

Time to tuck everyone back in, and look at the 2nd scrap, itty-bitty is sleeping with it's head on some food, in the ready for the upcoming round! Food coma
Just to clarify, I think this is Pappa

[rainna4]

Looks like Mom is back and she did have something in her talons, have not been able to see what it is just yet, and she is eating it now.

[rainna4]

Enjoying her meal

[rainna4]

Looks like a big fat fish and she did give the chicks another feeding!

[rainna4]

It has become very windy once again, the nest is swaying and the little one's are sleeping with the warmth of the evening sun and dad's (?) feathers.

[rainna4]

Keep your tiny heads down, it's very windy and the nest is really swaying tonight.

Evening Sauces

rainna4 Thanks for all the lovely nest observations and beautiful captures. I was able to watch quite a bit today and it was simply wonderful to see the triplets well fed and then pass out from food comas

Here is a collage from the 1 pm feeding.
