11/1/16 - Bite Those Nubs. Mom
and Dad both brought in sticks today and nestorized. Dad worked really hard
nibbling on the tree nubs, whittling them down and smoothing them out.
11/2/16 - Mighty Mom Heaves-Ho. Mom really showed her might lifting that huge
stick (formerly the "tree"), and Dad did plenty of work today, too.
11/3/16 - Stick Trips Part I and Stick Trips Part II. Lots
of sticks, twigs, limbs, fluff, branches and logs brought in this morning. It
got pretty crowded in the interior of the nest as Mom and Dad worked, but
somehow, they managed… what a team!
11/4/16 - Fish & Fluffhttps://youtu.be/n9TPwZKmsVQ. Dad
delivers a half fish and waits for Mom, who shows up promptly for her
breakfish. The evening brought fluff delivered to the nest by both Mom and Dad.
11/5/16 - Lights, Camera, Action. Photographers had a field day catching the antics of Mom and Dad
fetching sticks for the nest this morning, and the Ps continued to work
throughout the day.
11/11/16 - Slip Slidin' Away. Mom
brings in a log and struggles with getting it placed. Dad arrives, tries to
help Mom, and they both end up watching it slip over the nest edge.
11/13/16 - Love Is In The Air. Dad
delivers food stuff, duck or coot or something akin to them. Dad helps Mom
spread grass, he gets "frisky" with Mom, and he tries out the bole.
11/17/16 - Another One Bites The Dust. Dad
serves up squirrel for breakfast; he works while Mom savors it, stringy stuff
and all. Dad brings in a big stick and loses it over the edge.
11/19/16 - Tactical Error. After
entering the nest several times, Dad makes a tactical error when trying to
land; startles Mom big time.
11/23/16 - Thankful For Coot. Not
sure if the P's had turkey for Thanksgiving dinner, but I do know they had coot
the day before.
