Rain and renovations

Taika moving sticks at nest #3 yesterday. Little T2 watches closely.

Like this, mom?

💕💗

Tiny :v

Some good looks at T2's face at a feeding. Seems like there's been more feather development already since morning. Eyestripe markings are coming in nicely.

Bedtime.

Tuulos shaking off his feathers after delivering a fish, before flying off to catch another. It's been really hot and dry for the last few days, but this morning it's finally a bit cooler, and rainy.

T2 alone, Taika returned soon after these to keep the little one warm.

Stick activities at nest #1, too. E1 and Eve each have one in their beak. E2 just loafing in the middle.

All done.

And this morning, huddling after a feeding. E1 closer to camera.

Eve shielding the chicks from a downpour.

Eura with the chicks, E1 closer to camera.

Nuppu feeding her clutch supper last night. N2 (left) and N1 tracking something above, N3 mid-nomming a fish piece.

Some very good faces. :)

And rainy morning here, too. N3 closest to mom, N2 back, N1 front.

The three nests are in the same area, though I don't know how close they are to each other, as their exact location isn't disclosed to the public to avoid disturbances from potential visitors. Close enough that last season Nuppu's oldest chick was spotted at nest #1 after fledging.

They can't really fit under her anymore, but at least their heads stay dry.

A pile of wet osplet. I think that's N1 at the front, and N2 facing left, though the younger two are a bit more difficult to tell apart when I can't see their bodies, as N3's feather growth is still a bit behind the older two (but on time for its age; N2 is two days older than N3 and only a day younger than N1).
