Yes, one parent or the other sits on the nest while the other parent hunts. Currently most of the food is fish from the Bay. But in years past I have seen other little critters land in the nest. If you go to http://www.friendsofblackwater.org/camhtm2.html you can see for yourself. Lots of good info and past videos available, too.
I am not a Shakespeare buff, but I found this quote the other day and think it reflects most of what I try to put on here:
"And this our life, exempt from public haunt, / Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, / Sermons in stones, and good in everything." -William Shakespeare, playwright and poet (1564-1616)... I hope you find something on here you can enjoy. Thanks for visiting my little corner of town where the nice part about living in a small town is that when you don't know what you are doing, someone else does. And I can even post pictures to prove it!

How do the babies survive the cold, I wonder. I suppose the mother sits atop them at night.
I wondered the same thing as Snowbruah. Also, where do the parents find unfrozen goodies?
Very fascinating.
