I caught the female feeding her young yesterday...just missed her coming in with a large fish, but for the next half hour, she tore pieces off and fed it to the juveniles. Here are a few shots, with a link to the gallery at the bottom:

Here she rips off a large piece of fish...

Once the first one got his fill, the smaller one got to eat...

    Another great series of interaction between adult and juvenile. Very well done. You even caught the pass of the food to the fledgling. Bravo! thumb.gif
