Between 8:18 - - 9:16am

Stu on cam branch. He flew up - stayed a few minutes and back down. A few minutes later, back up and then again back down. That time he stayed about 5 minutes. Back up to the cam branch until 9:16 when - oh happy day - Dad arrived with food. (See next post)

Preparing to fly back down to nest


Wing spread while flying down


One of the head views while he was on the cam branch. He was visually following (presumably) one of the parents flying near by.

9:16am

Stu went on alert - flew down to nest


He actually arrived on the nest before Dad and was grabbing the food item (fish) as soon as Dad touched down - Hungry boy


Within the minute Mom arrived. Do you think that is a warning look Stu is giving her?


Stu ate - Mom stood by until she finally got her chance 23 minutes later

9:41am

Mom finally saw her chance and reached in


She got the food item - and it's not fish. Not sure what it is


Stu backed up, cleaned his beak while Mom started eating the ?. He moved up to her and she began sharing with him


They finished the food at 9:53am. Mom flew off. Stu flew up to the cam branch.

12:50pm

Stu made a brief visit to the nest bowl. He had been perched on the cam branch for a long time - with out researching - several hours

A couple images of his flight to the nest

He is more beautiful than he will be as an adult.

1:30pm

Dad delivers


Stu wastes no time getting the small fish. Mom does not arrive. Stu, doesn't really seem to hungry, as he is very slow in eating this little bitty fish.

///4:02pm

Just checked before I shut down for the night. Another great image of Stu as he flies down from his now favorite branch

WOW, You were busy today BET! Thanks for all the scaps and observations...I for one sure appreciate them

6:57pm... S2 sure must like the cam branch as he's there now, can only see his head though! Glad to hear he had food twice today...it means S2 goes to sleep happy as do I
