Photo 2: Fledgling waits
Observation details
A parent and its fledgling were in stream flowing under bridge between Beaver Lake and Sunset Lake. Third was in marsh/stream on south side of Mesa Lake, fourth by bridge near Glacier Springs parking lot. See attached ten photo sequence showing the parent hunting for food while its fledged chick anxiously waits (while repeatedly squatting down and raising back up). The parent found an invertibrate and attempted to feed it to the fledgling at least three times without success before finally turning its back on the youngster and eating the invertibrate itself. See Media Notes for details about each photo
