Bruce Massey Reports:
Osler Friday July 30th:
Day 2 was pretty well the same as Day 1, but a longer day. More preening, more flapping, and lots of vocalizing from the two youngsters. There also was more stealing of food by the juvenile female from the juvenile male. Three to fou times throughout this watch I observed the young juvenile male receive food from the adults, watched him take a few bites and then had his sister come down the ledge and steal it from him. It got to a point were the adult parents were beak feeding the juvenile male on other parts of the nest ledge out of sight of the juvenile female. By the end of the day, both juveniles had been feed several times, with the little female having got (or should I say stolen) the lions share of the food that the parents brought in to the hatchlings.
