Post by: steve rossi on June 07, 2009, 10:48:41 AM

the young are really developing, wings are almost fully developed and the older one is moving around on the surrounding branch`s above the nest.

in the last shot the youngest one is eating what appears to be a young starling.

in this shot the oldest one is exploing outside the nest.

Thanks Attila, yes these birds are well fed ,whenever we have observed them they have had a steady supply of food coming in, all three young ones are thriving very well.
