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 Egret, I`am glad you liked them, nature is grand and it is so nice to have a chance like this and observe it and get a chance to watch this family grow and survive.

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.
