Brunch!
I see there has been some discussion of the sharing of duties so far. One thing I have learned over my many years of watching this cam is that there is SOOOO much that goes on out of sight and between frames that no assumptions can be made. Heck, a lot of people have said in the past we'd see X, Y or Z so much better if we had video...and Beauty got egg 3 out of the box without anyone seeing it! Archer's role is hunting, Beauty's is protecting and feeding. We have seen exchanges on the "porch" and watchers have seen them in front of the nestbox. We've been accustomed for many years to a particular pair with particular habits. Many at other sites have said M&K's duty roster was actually unusual. Only time will tell how A&B share duties going forward. The eyases are being fed & are growing like weeds. As long as that continues to be true there's nothing to worry about.
My first year watching was M&K's last. 
I wasn't nearly as observant as I am now.
