The late hatchlings are usually at a bad disadvantage where the older ones get most of the food and the small one gets none.
Nature is harsh to those who comes late. I think there are two left and that's a boon for the parents. Thank you for the pics, I look forward to them daily.

Not sure whether I've seen third baby today; I call him/her 'Blondie.'

Will keep looking. Obviously, details are often difficult to see.

Please let us know if you spot her. I'll toast to the 2021 third baby.
