Haven't the chicks grown in the past week. They are eating off of the nest a lot now without the help of mom and dad. They just drop it and the chicks pick it up. I hate to disappoint you, but dad has been feeding the chicks for better than 3 weeks now. I have some wonderful pictures of him doing his fair share of feeding. Mom even brought food (fish) back yesterday why he sat up on a branch watching over them. They did some fantastic close up shots for better than 15 minutes yesterday. They even put the camera in on a barn way across the field on a horse coming out of the barn door.
Here is a nice shot of the female sitting up on the branch like I mentioned above and the barn that they zoomed in on when the horse was coming out.
