We see Mom taking care of the chicks from the beginning (when she is in labor laying the second egg) through 1:23 in the film. Off-camera she fights the intruder (S2) and then disappears (probably mortally wounded). After 1:23 we see Dad caring for the chicks by himself. S2, perhaps thinking the prey is a courting gift from Dad, keeps stealing the food. The smallest chick dies of hunger. Finally, S2 learns to feed and brood the chicks. They thrive and eventually fledge.

Thanks Beans.

Wonderful video Beans. Was that S2 who entered the nestbox at 19 sec. and left at 37 sec? That e-chupping sound is so familiar. Thanks for all your videos.

Love that final view of the two of them flying off together. Thank you for all of these.
