Oh my, this is the 1st pic I've been able to get of the "ghost female" Daddy BB has brought home. She doesn't seem to be challenging him for the feeding dish, yet I've not seen her go to it yet. I think she is avoiding me. Does a new "mom" ever treat the fledges well, or do I just need to expect her to chase them away. She is coming close to the feeder and they are not. As I type this I am wondering if it is because they are so young (I have really just yesterday, been able to hear them when the male feeds them. With the last group, I seem to remember that they were audible to me in nearby treeas for a # of days before they were brought to the feeder. I actually wonder if their landing skills are refined enough to land on the feeder or nearby observation perches.
Feedback please!
Oh how I hope you can see this female. My house is wearing my telephoto $ as roof repair, so won't have one for a while yet. ;-(( What a bummer!
