11:52am.......Another attempt at feeding but not sure how successful it was. Second chick was moving around, but did not stand up. First chick may have taken some as h/s was quite curious and willing.
First chick was very wobbly at first, falling down, but got up again and did pretty good after that. I am now IN on both cams. They are not responding well.

12:28pm................They are definite cuties for sure..........chick 1 seems to be full of energy..............chick 2 is moving around and wiggling but not standing up yet.
This is the beak on chick 2. Pa arrived at the nest and nibbled on some of the prey first.

12:30pm.........Pa seemed a little confused about what to do........he gingerly went over to the chicks and wiggled his way down on them, but not before rolling them.

Another feeding taking place. Chick number one very vocal and getting bites.
Chick number 2 is still low in the nest and has not made any effort to get food.
Just wondering how long it normally takes for the second chick to become more active and grab bites of food.
