When it's raining & cool & you have to keep the babies warm...and you've got a feather stuck in your nose!

  Yay!  Very strange feedings, so far, though.  

Well, I, for one, am resisting the urge to over analyze the feedings. I suspect Beauty is very well aware there is another female in the territory and that Dot.ca has been with her. My thought is she may be adjusting her usual parenting to account for that and assure the best chance of survival for her eyases.

And one more edit-just as an FYI for new followers-newly hatched eyases do not need to eat for 24-48 hours. They get all the nutrition they need during that time from the yolk absorbed into their abdomen just before hatching.

Shell half appears at 3:29AM

Here is the after-7:30 PM feeding.  Kind of long.  You can jump ahead to approximately 6 min 50 sec when Beauty brings in dinner and dismisses DC.

Thank you for the videos NCA. I missed much of yesterday.

You can see the wet eyas on the right under her left wing on the cam 2 view.

Shaky checked and it looks like our 2nd hatch happened at 3:38 am.

 

Was just going to scroll back. It's nice we can rewind the video now!

Woo hoo! Thank you for the pics & videos. Will need to catch up later...

Ei

You can hear the peeps during the change over at 4:51. I'm having challenges recording with sound, but you can scroll back and hear it.

From 5:48 this morning

WOO HOO!

Anyone seeing this... if you back up feed 2 on You Tube to 19:15, just after DC leaves (which his rapid chirping makes me think there might be an intruder - because he wasn't kaaking)... anyway, you can here the kids in the eggs.  Sounds like muffled dog barks to my ear & no headphones in!  Soon...

Also, you can hear DC in the background up above & there a quick fly-by while eggs are unattended until Beauty comes back around 19:17 (cam time)

I tried recording it but I think the sound card on my computer may be shot. Or playback on my phone isn't working. Will try playing it at work tomorrow to see if I hear anything.

Go ahead Honey...I've got this!

A short standoff before the switch!

Bye Beauty!
