Dad was on one of the branches below the nest. Big Hook was periodically noisy, but she makes a very distinct sound when she wants him to head off to catch a fish. It's loud and insistent and each time she makes this particular call, he heads off over to the other side of the bay. Today he was gone less than ten minutes before he returned with a live fish.

Big Hook had a feed herself before feeding the little one. I noticed that Old Ma Osprey would do similarly when brought a live fish. There is no sign of a second or third chick.
