These photos were taken on June 28. All of the photos are from the same nest. Usually I’ll spend some time at 3 or 4 different nest. But I wanted to spend more time at this particular one. Not as much action as I hoped . Waited for over 2 hours for the male to bring back a fish. When he arrived 2 hours later, he flew to his usual place and proceeded to eat the entire fish. The mate was really pissed off. So was I. So , in total I waited for over 3 hours. Someone needs to send this guys to parenting school. I grabbed a shot as he flew by with the fish. It was very large. It‘s the 8th photo in this thread.

Thanks. Yup. And he didn’t share. I was there yesterday morning and I thought he was going to do the same thing. He caught a huge fluke and sat there eating it for at least 45 minutes. But finally he came to the nest with the remains. Haven’t had a chance to go through those images yet.. There was a hugh change in their size since last week. Some are ready to fly. They were testing out their wings.
Also, another pair whom got started at least a month later than the rest finally had their eggs hatch. I was pleasantly surprised to see that there are 3 hatchlings. They look about 2 weeks old. I missed them last week because I only stayed for a moment to see if there was any activity. The female appeared to still be incubating the eggs but obviously I didn’t stay long enough to observe their activity.
