10:56am Stu is laying down as I type this... he's up and down to preen and stretch.

NO feeding during the time I've been watching.

OUT!

2:30 nest time Parent just arrived but don't see any sign of food. Parent left fairly quickly. It is very windy today!

3:20 I was just going to turn my computer off and parent just arrived with a big fish!

This should keep Stu happy for awhile!

Thanks Darlene! It's so annoying when they do the most interesting things just when you are ready to sign out!!

Absolutely fascinating Anna! Thank you very much. I miss so much because I am always trying to write notes as I watch. I know though that I have never seen anything like that before. I can only think it is a way to encourage Stu to learn to eat on his own... Do others agree?

I did ask that yesterday evening who saw it ? , just got two reaction. On the chat somebody said it was raining and the other said indeed stimulate. So I think Mom start to stimulate but when she notice S2 did not go she thought okay then shelter S2. I don`t saw it rain so it can`t be much, normally the tree is shining then.

7:15am friday, Sept 30

Wasn't able to watch yesterday and won't have much time today. Have watched since about 6:30am this Friday morning. Stu has been sitting up preening - his back - his chest - his under wings. Has spent more than a half hour doing this. Then he looked like he was digging a bit of left over out of the leaves. I did not see him swallow anything, but he was very intrigued with digging in the one area and was pulling leaves out of the way. So maybe he did find a tidbit.

An image when he stopped preening for a few minutes - looking about

7:33am Stu is mid-nest resting. He blends in well with the nest and at a quick glance you might not even see him.

Windy today.
