First chick is getting better and figuring out this feeding thing.

Thought Chick #2 was gonna get there but fell back. Needs a bit more time.

Both wiggling. Chick #1 fell backwards and Chick #2 moving under one.

3:42pm..........Just checking the controls on the EAST cam........the zooming in and out has been better so thought I'd take a look at the panning too............pretty good............hope this isn't just temporary. Did not see Ma anywhere...............but both neighbours are home.
ADDED: I maybe am being too hopeful.........just had issues with the EAST cams and also the WEST cam.

4:17pm.........First chick took large bites........surprised me...........you can see the second chick really trying hard to get erect and did manage a couple of times to do that, but couldn't seem to stay that way. I think the second chick is mostly propping itself up on the pile of grasses.
Second chick on the right. Second chick on the left.
