This is a fairly typical behavior shortly after all the young have left the nest but I’ve not been able to find out what it means.

Haven’t seen any of the babies this evening. Does anybody know if they are all gone? I saw two last night but wasn’t able to get online today from work. Gosh, we’ll miss them when they are all gone….

I was just going to write and ask! I got screen captures of her doing that – but had to run and pick up my child from Karate!

I personally, like to think she was planning ahead for next year!! :) And congratulating herself on a job well done!!! :) :)

She did this a few times, each time for just a few seconds. She poked around a bit, then left. The hotspot called “Dori visits the empty nest” captures her actions. Can you explain what she was doing?

They’re hard-wired to chase their parents until they know how to hunt, so their parents will teach them as soon as possible.

Hopefully we’ll have more antics that I can report on. How soon will they start to learn to catch there own food?

That happens a lot in my line of work (computers).
