Key Observations & Notes
Parental Breakdown:
The male was extremely active today, securing at least 8 out of the 10 documented deliveries. As noted in the discussions, during this stage of the breeding season, females often visit the nest less frequently than males, though the growing chicks still heavily rely on both parents.
Chick Behavior & Growth:
The chicks have grown so tall that when they stand at full height, they no longer fit completely in the camera frame (heads are cut off).
The Bonus chick continues to showcase its strength - after one of the afternoon feedings, the chicks found an object they didn't immediately eat, and the Bonus chick managed to successfully snatch it away and hold onto it for a while.
Weather Note:
It was an extremely hot day at the nest; observers noted the chicks visibly struggling with the heat.
