Scott, love that great description "bop fest". Titter

Mom coughed up food at 7:51 and 8:29 AM and they attacked the fish vigorously.

9:38 AM Mom put her beak down and it is obvious they know where the food source is!

Mom has been moving sticks and thank goodness moved the one from in front of cam. Dad is bringing in sticks regularly this morning.

Sean has been operating cam 2 and got some great shots of busy dad.
