Mom feeding the chick - duck I think as it's quite red and there is a spot of 'duck flesh' that has dropped onto the chick - Mom tried to get it but it's too small...

ADD: I got a good close-up of the egg as did Bev and I don't see anything there yet...

Mom called.. i am zooming out front....Yolande has the S Cam on the nest
9:03am
Mom calls again
9:09am'.9:14am
She is off the egg and chick..and throws her heard back calling,and is now feeding the chick.. the little one is using the egg for a bum rest.. :roll: she had another good feeding of duck......... and i am sure Mom was telling Dad that he needs to bring more food to the nest..Mom settled on the chick and egg..
Did anyone else see Dad flying towards the nest when is was zooming ? or am i seeing things ?

I added a picture and video from the feeding at 7:40 am on the previous page, and here's a picture of the chick and egg from about 8:23 am

Image

The video looks a bit fuzzy because it's from the south cam, and the branch was sort of in the way. :)
