4:20pm................Feeding over............the second chick still not eating anything, but looking stronger and more alert......especially when Ma came closer to it.
We see that second chick here looking at Ma. Too late for food.

Saw another feed.
Ma was sitting on the prey and the 2 bobbleheads were lying down then soon sat up!
I did see 2nd hatch get about 4 bites. I am out for a while.

7:45pm...........Ma was spreading the long grass around the nest and digging in the bowl..........It must be deep as her head goes in far.

7;46pm......When she was done, Ma seemed to have trouble settling down on the chicks........and opted for turning to the side as she finally did that.
One sweet face looking up at Ma.
