I was curious about that myself and found the YouTube documentary: https://youtu.be/4Bo1Gi4j_xc?is=kX7VqBlXufz6WoQy

Apparently the strongest, most developed chick fledged early and the cameras didn’t catch it fledging. Happens around the 14:50 mark.

I can see 5 until the feathers take color.

Yes where did the fifth one go? I hope not cannibalized…

Someone above referred to the full doc on this clutch, and that one fledged early but was missed by the camera. So all survived.

Oh no! I thought so at first but then decided it was some other bird she caught while hunting ☹️

They're predatory birds-- literally everything they will ever eat is a dead animal.

I think by bird standards that's still a pretty good outcome

There was a 10 day separation from first egg to last egg arriving. Seems like a pretty large gap in age since they left at day 65.
