Today marks the 48th day since EH hatched.  Initially after the two chicks hatched, Jasper did not provide fish as he has done in the past. Often, the chicks were left alone while Bea set out to find food. The first chick, JK, died about one week after hatching. Crows have often been seen about the nest and tower, so we're thinking that maybe JK was attacked while Bea was away. 

EH, the second chick, is now 48 days old and has grown into a young juvenile. As either parent brings fish to the nest, EH is quite eager to receive and pester Bea as she still tries to feed EH.
