6:57 The camouflage is perfect. It's hard to get pictures where you can see it clearly.
The little chick is in front of the female. It looks like it is begging

[Marfo]

It looks a bit like a frog with feathers, cute

Thank you all for pictures and videos

Hello

It may be a Duck. Ferruginous- or Tufted duck. Or maybe a Scaup. Or a Merganser.

Or maybe I'm just hearing things, and it's a Raven.

feeding by the male. 23:23 the chick "knocked at the beak", spread its wings while it gets food, 23:24 finished

Thank you for this - it was very cute especially how it popped back under male after - so neat

[Biker]

at 23:10 both came out and begged together.
23:10:59 they hooked each other with their beaks



earlier

[Biker]

to me it looks that the chicks stayed hungry until the male 23:13 came to feed them. they begged a few times intensive before.
23:13 feeding by the male, here the smaller chick got nothing, although it hang at the male's beak.

video: the female flew off, calls of one chick are to hear, the male flew in (one chick was fed), 23:14 both begged again, got nothing.

The camouflage is perfect.

Good morning everybody
I went to look at the bird many times and never saw her get up, eat, feed.
Thanks for the video where we can look at it in motion.

They behave almost like the bittern. They hold the beak of the parents.
