Early morning, two pics especially for you balistar

The first fresh fish today from Dad.


Beaumont takes off.


The second fish:

...a big headless:


And here is already number three, offspring has still a rest from the previous fish in his claws.


the fourth, what a Dad!

In meanwhile the chick is overstuffed...Beaumont spoilt his one remaining kid.


Offspring returned later, the half eaten fish lies a level lower now.
16:08 Beaumont delivers the fifth fish.

17:33 He lands with headless fish number six, the chick came two minutes later.

.......

Birdfriend, merciiiiiiiii

The second one is again sooooo "mmmmh", this expression and the feathers on the backhead, gorgeous

Wow, again six fish - yes, Beaumont spoils the only remained "child",
i guess it is a girl (just kidding )

I agree with you balistar I think also, that the chick is a girl.

That is already the second fish from today, a leftover lies there, maybe from yesterday...




10:37 Beaumont with the third...he is amazing. I guess, the youngster has too much weight for the trip to the south.
13:06 Fish number four...

14:34 A huge one...


Beaumont left with this fish again, the chick has still the fourth fish in his claws.


15:44 I guess re-delivery from the previous huge fish. At this time the chick is interested.

In meanwhile Beaumonts offspring is dozing with the fish.


17:00 ...still eating...

23.September

I think in meanwhile the youngster is alone still there. I've not seen Beaumont since yesterday morning, he brought a smaller fish for breakfast. The chick was eating leftovers from previous fishes yesterday in the evening. I'm a bit worry about her. She spends a lot of time on the nest, she was often still there for overnight.
I cross my fingers, that the kick to leave for migration comes soon and hopefully she learns to catch fishes for herself.

I'm so glad to see Beaumont has not left her alone...

Charlo, Montana - first snow

I don't think C9 liked the snow.

I guess, yesterday at 3.October Beaumont and his offspring are gone for their long journey. The chick overnighted again on the nest, last sight from her against 9:30. Stay safe my friends, hope for a healthy return from Beaumont and Hope next spring.

From what I read, Beaumont was together at first with an other female, which he found during last season. But suddenly she left him alone.
Later he found "Hope". That was the reason for the later breeding, how I documentated earlier Hope was a first timer.
All three eggs were viable and all hatched. Two of the chicks died on the nest, Hope consumed both later. Only one chick could make it ...but I'm happy for this one.

Thank you very much, Birdfriend, for your report and all the beautiful pictures with which you spoiled us.
I'm sorry for the loss of the two other chicks.

Wish the remained chick and Beaumont and Hope a safe journey.
See you next season
