Default yes...
I seem to recall that some predatory birds kill off nestmates...a competition of sorts.

But this family--- right now both parents are feeding again---- seem very
congenial. I only saw one snappish fight among sibs so far. They are very
well mannered during the feedings...I am very surprised at this.

I raised some naked 3 day old nestling sparrows...and they were just hooligans, stepping all over the runt, and fighting for food.

Lightbulb you know...
We see them on the water alot now up North. I think the parents teach
them how to fish/hunt. We see an adult with full colors often with a brown
younger bird frequently.

We also see eagle fights... we've seen them chase each other, screeing...
and we have seen terns and crows chase and harrass eagles as well. I don't think they are very aggressive. I have seen one aerial display right overhead of them falling and flapping with talons locked together. Either that was a fight or
mating display?

Question Glad
That I have the day off!

Duck? sea gull? probably. I see some gray pinfeathers like a seagull.

I think it is fascinating how the parent is "teaching" the chicks...
