Are you guys awake and ready for breakfast?
Rise and shine, it's almost 9:30 !
Here's some for you.
Not all at once now!
I didn't get any yet. Do you have more in your crop?
I'll head back to the pond and try to find more for all of you.
Wait, Mom, I'll come with you!!
She left without me. I could'a flown with her....
I wonder hen she'll be back?
An hour later, she's back with snacks.
More please!
And off she goes again.
Meanwhile, in the other nest they are getting restless.
Those guys got fed. When's OUR mom going to show up?
She does make an appearence and feeds then for a bit.
I think this one got a disciplinary talk.
And she's off again.
Our first nest gets the story of adventures in the pond.
She then comes down into the nest.
Where she is greeted warmly. The biting on the bill must stimulate her to regurgitate food from her crop.
Glad to see that she is feeding the littlest one directly.
And off again for her fourth round of the morning.
