Early this morning when I went out to put mealworms in the feeder, I also sprinkled a few on the railing, thinking Papa would be able to get to them faster. To my surprise, all three youngsters came, without him, and all began feeding themselves. When Papa showed up a few minutes later, he stayed back to chase any HOSP that might show up. Later I did see him feeding one of the fledglings, but they apparently are becoming more and more independent at 36 days old.
