5:50 pm
The chick at 12:00 finally finished his fish.


I hope Mom is perched somewhere keeping dry instead of out looking for another fish. I think this trio has had more than enough for one day.

5:58 pm
One had gone for a fly about and has returned.

Thank you for all the pics and reports. MOm is doing such a brilliant job of feeding these 3.

5:58pm 1 chick down and away and back again in a few seconds.

I think the rain has stopped now. No further accumulation on the lens.

:dunno:
I am not sure if the chick in the front right has left the nest all day. He was the one that stood on the fish all night and did not leave this am. Mom flew in with the morning fish and he was the only one on the nest and he took it and continued his "stand on top of the fish" While I type this, the chick that got the abandon fish and ate it all gone is now making an attempt to get the Hoarders fish. if there was a smiley for shaking my head I'd include that too.

6:09 pm
Another fish fight broke out and someone won't share much to the others chagrin.

BET, he did go for one short fly about this morning but he's pretty much been too stuffed to fly today.

6:16 pm
Another poopshoot and I missed the stream again. I think this s'capping program is slower than my other one but I like having the date and time on this one.

6:10pm another attempt to grab the remaining piece of fish but alas, no success

"Hoarder'' is not going to give up even a scale to anyone.



OUT

6:10pm

Chick - I'll call her #2 - the one that ate the abandon fish - made another try for the hoarders.





NO YOU CAN NOT HAVE MY FISH

6:18 pm
Lots of gulls congregating on the sandbar and the sun is finally shining.


We are going out for the evening but I will pop in later tonight to catch up. :hello:
