Observation details
A fledgling just off the nest with two adults in attendance. The male viciously attacked a rabbit that was near the tree the fledgling was in-- repeatedly dive-bombing the rabbit, snapping its bill on the pounce, it appeared to connect a couple times and the rabbit jounced off. Male nearby singing off and on, I think it was the female doing most of the feeding. The adult twice removed fecal sacs , one that was hung up on a branch and one that was produced immediately after being fed and pulled from the cloaca. The fledgling was mostly quiet until the adult arrived and made a begging note reminiscent of the adults' scold note. It did this a number of times immediately after being fed, then would remain quiet.
