Ma perches near the nest and consumes the fish.

After her meal, she flies over to a maple tree with mossy branches.
She grabs a huge chunk of moss and delivers it into the nest.
This will make a very comfy bed for the eggs.

I have been away, so I can't be sure when the egg{s} were laid, but it appears that they are now brooding.
Ma was unseen, presumably on the nest, Pa was perched nearby.
