Full commitment…
Yesterday morning Shadow announced to Jackie that he is now completely committed to the nesting process…
…he brought a whole fish to the nest and presented it to her!
It was a full intact fish, head and all. (The head seems to be Shadow’s favorite part and he has sometimes been known to eat that part first before bringing the rest of the fish to Jackie.)
When Shadow arrived, he laid the fish on the snow-covered nest. A little squawk of ‘mine, mine’ could be heard from Jackie in the distance. Rather than eating, Shadow just let the fish lie there as he went about pulling sticks from under the snow.
Jackie soon followed him into the nest as she softly sounded her claims to the fish.
Shadow dragged the fish from in front of Jackie to the middle of the nest and then let Jackie take it. Apparently, he needed to make sure she knew that it was a gift and he fully agreed to giving it to her.
Then Shadow spent several minutes working on the furniture arrangements while Jackie enjoyed her fish gift.
Now that everyone is officially on board for nesting season, let’s watch and see what happens next!
