One of the juvies brought the "catch" to the nest to show off with,
but nobody was home.
Obviously he imitated the fishing motion of Daddy, but only a piece of leaves was caught.
Once I watched a juvi Red-tailed Hawk dropping and catching a piece of bark over and over, obviously practicing for hunting of
mice.
Shot 27 minutes before sunset.

I was trying to make out what it had 'caught' until I read your notes!

Great behaviour illustration, Karl and such beautiful light.
