10-14-2023 A Bad Stick Day
A Bad Stick Day…
Last evening Shadow visited the nest first, bringing in a small yet beneficial stick to the nest… not far behind, Lumber-Jackie, known for her big wonky stick deliveries, flies by the lower right. She tried with all her might to make it up to the nest with half a tree in tow but couldn't quite make it!
Shadow watched in amazement as she passed by. We are not sure if he was thankful that monstrosity of a stick didn’t make it to the nest or maybe he was thinking what a challenge that would be!?!?
Shadow waited for Jackies return which seemed like forever… maybe she was finding the perfect hiding place for that awesome stick so she can give it another try later. Finally, Jackie arrived stickless and got right to work, choosing the most obvious out of place stick right in front of her. Where to put it… where should it go… the best place at the moment seemed to be on Shadow!
Looks like Jackie, having a bit of an awkward stick day, decided to take on the smaller sticks and the nest bowl while Shadow tended to the crib rails!
After the work was complete, or good enough for now… Shadow headed over to their favorite roost tree to get the best roosting spot, by the trunk of course… or so he thought. When Jackie arrived, she saw a small opening, hopped up, squeezed in, and snuggled between Shadow and the trunk! Jackie and Shadow ended the day with some nice goodnight chortles to all…
Does the nest look a little ‘sticky’ and uncomfortable? Not to worry, Jackie and Shadow will usually add fluff (soft grasses and pine needles) as egg laying gets closer. This generally happens in December with the majority of fluff coming in at the end of the month.
