Other Activity: I heard the female on the nest give a begging call and then saw the male land on the nest with a fish. He perched briefly and then flew off.

No chick was visible, but the female was clearly both feeding herself and at least one chick.

General Comments: I just returned from a long trip out of the country and have not been able to make any reports until now. Looking good on Ring's Island.
