Media notes
The male was the only adult we saw enter the nest hole.
Observation details
2 chicks could be seen as the female adult fed them from outside the nest, then she left. The male arrived later and fed chicks from outside, and then entered the nest for a few minutes before emerging and flying away. We noticed an interesting phenomenon -- "steam" rising from the hole, even though the temperature outside was in the 70s.
