Has Chick 2 accepted any food yet? I just caught the end of a feeding and I saw only one chick being fed.

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.
