An exciting new chapter has begun at the nest and it seems as though Jackie and Shadow are now settling back into a nice routine. The weather has been a bit warm for them, as they enjoy it cooler, however it's allowing both parents the opportunity to each spend some quality time together with their chicks.
Today began with early morning stretches by Mama Jackie. The two kiddos followed with some little wing stretches of their own. Jackie began the day with a feeding and then headed out for a break as Shadow reported promptly for Daddy duty. He covered his chicks as the sun rose over the lake and then before Jackie got home, he did a feeding of both chicks.
Jackie did some much needed housekeeping and rearranged fluff around the nest bowl. These two little ones are growing quickly and showing us daily all the new fun stuff they are learning. Preening, panting, wingers, big mouths wide open and heads tilted back for crop drops, as well as learning what it's like to have a nest mate 24/7. Today they were also showing off their big feet! And no one is going hungry in this nest… food is plentiful and still piling up in the overflowing pantry but it's alright ~ they know what they're doing!
Shadow is bringing more fluff to make his two growing chicks as comfy as possible in their cozy bed. He checks in often with Jackie to see when she's ready for a break and he has delivered plenty of food for his amazing family, plus enough extra to have a big neighborhood fish fry!
The chicks look the most content when they have that afternoon quiet time sitting tucked under Mom or Dad, all cuddled up together with their eyes on the big world in front of them. It's hard to tell who loves that time more, the chicks or the parents!
Tonight they had quite the family dinner all together in the nest. Jackie got hit with another little “on target” poop shot (PS) by her littlest squirt (oopsie… sorry Mom!) Hey, it happens! Oh and Shadow tried to feed the kids but was a little too far away, so he ended up feeding his bite of fish to Jackie. Oh well, it's all in the family!
Stay tuned for the next amazing adventures of Jackie, Shadow and their two growing chicks!
