June 7th
Good morning everyone!
5:44am - Teo brings a half fish to Vita, and the two chicks. Vita, feeds the chicks. The chicks, are so fat and healthy looking!
So Cute!

Have a great day, Polly, Balistar, Abigyl, and everyone following the forum!

[Polly]

Good morning and have a wonderful day for all of you too!


08:39 All four and their Egg are united in the nest.
Vita chirps softly to Teo.







08:42 Teo leaves the nest.

[Polly]

08:45 Teo's priorities are special - no fish.
First the air conditioning is being worked on. He brings a good bundle of dry grass.


08:45 and now do task number two. Teo is thrown out again.

Vita leaves the grass like a wall. It just widens the ends a little. The chicks immediately accept the protective wall and hide their coofs on the cooling pillow. Vita protects them from the other side.

[Polly]

08:12 Teo back - he confidently brings a fish.


*look look



Vita takes over the feed.


Teo stays a few moments before he leaves the nest.
Vita begins to feed. At first she blocks the view.

[Polly]

The whole feeding was closed to the public.

But look at the bundles of joy ... it must have tasted good. Although the harvests are not overly crowded.
Satisfied and ready for the next nap.




Vita is making the parasol again.


Only the fish has to continue cooking.

[Polly]

09: 26/27 Check up and some nausea.
Vita picks up leftover fish and repairs some stalks and sticks.

09:39 Teo is back. He claws the fish, seems a bit indecisive but takes the fish with him.






Hm, the fish wasn't done yet.

[Polly]

09:44 Vita plays with the wind ... enjoys it and lets himself be carried out of the nest.


The chicks are calm.


09:47 Vita is back.
Their tail feathers are very worn.

[Polly]

10:22 Teo brings the fish back. Is it the same?


Vita begins the next feeding and Teo flies over to the parent tree.

[Polly]

At about 10:53 am it gets restless ...
Vita begins to look up.
I can see Teo in the parent tree at this point when 53:46 - 48 alarm calls from an Osprey can be heard.
I can't tell whether they come from Teo.

10:55:10 - 12 Osprey alarm call
10:55:24 - 26 Vita chirps the alarm
10:59:40 - 43 alarm calls excited Osprey and now Teo hastily leaves the parents tree.


More calls
11:05:55
from 11:06:39 Jay or Specht angry
11:07:45 Osprey alarm call

Vita sticks firmly on her chick.

11: 08: 41/42, 58/59 Osprey alarm call
11:09:17 - 20 Vita and second Osprey warn

[Polly]

11:16 Vita gets up and shakes and brushes the excitement out of her feathers.




11:23 - 32 She eats a few bites of her own.
The chicks continue to rest.

[Polly]

11:35:19 - 21, 29/30 and again alarm calls
Vita stands still


11:36:06 - 08 Calls
11:37:52 Teo ends up back in the parents tree.

[Polly]

11:38 Now Vita is chirping the alarm and leaving the nest.
Teo also flies out of the parents' tree and follows her. Both call.

Not good when the chicks are alone ...

[Polly]

11:41 Teo is back first, followed shortly after by Vita.
Both of them stand first and look around.


Vita begins to clean herself and Teo picks up the fish.
He starts feeding his chicks. They fill up quickly and don't take any more bites.
So ....


...is now fed Vita.




I have to go to work.

[Florinda]

17:42:04 Little bully disguised the camera

[Polly]

Oh that little matzo ...
I checked it right now - no rain in sight. It will dry out mercilessly.

[Polly]

June 8th

Good morning everyone

08:34 Teo brings a wriggling fish. Vita takes over and feeds her chicks.

[Polly]

09:13 The rest of the fish is delivered back to the nest and Teo begins to gnaw on it.
Does Vita look offended?


Teo reconciles her with a private breakfast ...

[Polly]

10:15 sharp ...


10:45 All four and eggs at home and Teo is chirped out.

[Polly]

10:59 Vita lets the wind blow herself out of the nest under her wings again.


Chick number two goes wandering ...


... see where mom is.
