Hi all. Just winding down from a busy day here. Nest still dark. Another while before I have to start paying attention!
There was no fish delivery. I' ll bet if Garten could figure out how to grab the fish from Odin's talons as he was flying to the nest she would do it.
Garten had never flown with a fish until "White TF" attacked her and tried to steal her fish. Instinctively she flew away with her fish. Now she takes her fish to a tree to eat. Why take a chance that Mallachie will grab it. Has anyone seen Mallachie fly with a fish? I know I have not.
Garten will have less problems fishing because she knows how to fly with it once she has it in her talons. She has also landed in a tree while carrying a fish and knows how to balance the fish on a branch to eat. Her skills are far ahead of Mallachie
Formerly known as Barbara Jean
Now they are both on the nest waiting.
The other day Mallachie and Garten were on a branch, each with a fish they were eating - you might see the still photos on a previous Update page. I know folks saw it and were talking about it. I wonder if things will be as competitive once they're away from each other.
Did they each have a fish or were they eating from both ends of one fish? If they both had a fish then Mallachie has learned to fly and land with a fish. That is great!
They are still both on the nest and it looks like Garten is getting quite vocal in her demands for breakfast. Look at how plump she is. It would be interesting to weigh her now.
Goodnight
Mallachie takes off, leaving Garten looking a little surprised.
Night Barbara Jean. I'm not far behind you.
6:50 a.m. Garten just took off, so, no fish, no birds, and now, no Annette. Night all!
