Nori looks so sad! Dejected, hungry.

Uno is really enjoying his fish! 7:17AM local time

Nori standing in the pouring rain, waiting for leftovers, and screeching ..."daddy bring me a fishie"

Phu I quoted myself and dont know how to make it undone..

You should be able to "edit" your post, gjuselover --- look for the word "Edit" on a tab in the lower right-hand part of your post.

Where is Elo? Shall he be the first to fish?

[Chimega]

Madis delivered another fish. 6:55

[NancyM]

I watched that -- Uno really worked at backing and backing -- trying to force Nori right out of the nest.

opinion:
I saw it live, and I watched Bratte's video, but I did not see it quite the same way - I think both backed up to make room for Madis and the fish, Uno was not even aware of Nori.
Nori was never in "danger" of being forced off the nest (she could always go around on the side).

On Chimega's picture- that wound on Madis' leg is reddish again ... we know that happened when Elo bit him!

I think Madis will be ok. We only have to worry if the chicks start growling.

My computer can hardly play videos so I did not get a good review. I grant you Nori was in no danger, but I think all that mantling suggests they are aware of the threat of the other.

Have we seen anyone but Elo biting at feet?

It was definitely (I think) Elo I saw nipping at Nori's talons.

what is the problem?

[IKat]

Uno looks like a mad professor with his new hairdo.....good night all....

[meierlein]

:peek:

angry little NORI

"Hej UNO
you could share that big fish with me -
who knows, when Dad will bring the next one"

[alice44]

7:58

Nori seems to be eying the fish, in way that suggests she might be thinking about sneaking the fish away from Uno.

[IKat]

Alice....searched around for answer to foot nipping.....usually with adult osprey they tend to stay far away from the talons of another adult because of the risk of injury (obviously)....with Elo could it be he associates talons or feet with food since that's how its delivered? Wild guess here......now I'm going to bed

[gjuselover]

No leftovers for Nori

[alice44]

8:08

Nori checked under Uno, I think she found the ground was clean.

[meierlein]

:peek:

UNO flew off
NORI tried the very old leftovers
then she followed UNO

" So - now I go watching, how ELO tries to catch her fish"
