Our girl was still there today….and I have about a billion photos of her. I stopped in the morning , after getting my Covid shot, and there she was waiting on the nest. she was perched on the edge of the nest and I zoomed in to get some closeups and darn, Dad came flying in with a fish before I could readjust my scope, so all I got was her reaction to her incoming daddy. Afree a visit to the pottery studio, I returned and I found Dad sitting alone with a fish….and no one food begging. I started to fear that the chick might have started her migration….cause, how will I live without her? Dad would take a bite of fish and then look all around for his kiddo. This went on for at least 10-15 min….my heart was starting to sink….and then suddenly….food begging! She was in the tree with a big fish of her own. But she was hollering for more….dad took off and I think he was perched inthe same tree she was, but above her, because she kept looking up and crying. Eventually she quieted down, dad was gone, and she returned to eating her fish. I spent almost 3 hours with her today….I simply can’t explain what it means to me and how it feels to just hang out with her.
