The bird gaped twice while I was holding it for weighing and examination, but not when I put it back into nest and tried to feed it. It resumed the egg position, with head laid under body. I put in a pan of leaf litter and as soon as I was (10ydo from cage) in position to watch, could see one bird scratching in it. It did not go to the nest. At 3:26, I went to hanging feeder, and saw seen to be holding something in her mouth. She flew to the next brush-pile, but did not go to nest.
