The parent flew in with this piece of bark. I assume it is for the young to tear on to strengthen their neck muscles? The light is a little tough with strong shadows. Looking forward to getting back soon.

Enjoy!

Hi Peter!! Nice!!! That's a good theory on bringing the bark. Hopefully, someone who knows for sure will comment. This is good in that you were able to keep all three chicks separate and it's nice that the adult doesn't have it's back to us. More!!!
