The Moon in Deep Winter
by Lee Polevoi

$0.99
Kindle Edition published 2008-01-10
Bestseller ranking: 460964

Product Description
This literary thriller revolves around Parker Sloane. When he returns from a dismal foray into third-world cash-smuggling to his childhood home in the woods of New England, it seems he’s seeing his country and his blended stepfamily for the first time—and finding both just as twitchy, desperate, paranoid and unpredictable as the underworld types he thought he’d escaped.

Before he can even unpack, Parker goes head-to-head with his relatives—his tyrannical stepfather, seething younger brother, newly evangelical mother, and his alluring younger half-sister Rita—and with the demons they never exorcised.

Delicately but disastrously, Parker attempts to keep his family from imploding, unaware that they have their own plans for escape. The Moon in Deep Winter combines the dark comedy of the Coen brothers with the doomed lyricism of Denis Johnson, creating an airtight world of homicidal family dysfunction.

One parent just flew in with a fish, and the other parent is now feeding it to Stormy.

I did get to see the arrival of the fish this time.  Pretty neat.

I noticed an update on the site where they say they've changed some camera settings. 
The picture seems clearer to me.

Does Stormy ever come out of the hole?

It seems like the hole keeps getting deeper.  A couple days ago it was easier to
see him.  I'm thinking they build it up around him so he doesn't hop out at any
point.  Just a guess.

Well, he hopped out.  Then she threw something over part of the hole.  Then she went and sat on him and started burrowing her head.  I thought for sure papa would be bringing food soon, but i didn't see it.  She sat way up out of site for a while too.

You must have missed the food.  They had two fish on the side away from the camera.
Momma (I'm assuming) fed Stormy and then pulled one of the fish over to the side
nearer the camera and buried it in the nest.  The second fish, I think, is still laying
near her.

I missed the two fishes.  Amazing she buried one - saved for later, I suppose.
I did see Stormy get fed just now.  He seemed hungry!

Unfortunately I think she built a new hole and filled in the old one a bit, and they are both more in the shadows now.

26 Mar 10 circa 6:00PM feeding time.

just found this thread and got this frame grab of little stormy being fed.  poor quality pic but good enough to make out stormy.  obviously they have a supply of fish scattered around the nest.  it's going to be fun to track stormy's growth.

He's starting to look more like the picture of the adorable eaglet that I sent last week.

Kindle zen, that was a great idea to post that picture!  Grainy but still a great shot!  I'm amazed at how he grows everyday and gets more control of his movements!
Frustrating today with the camera problems.  I hope they don't disturb the eagles fixing this latest.

Yes, the connection has been interrupted.  They are attempting to repair the feed.

I think the picture has improved.  I haven't seen Stormy in about 24 hrs now. Undecided

He just got fed again.  His appetite is increasing!  Also, he must be able to get all his moisture requirements from the meat, as he doesn't drink anything!

He's getting big!  I saw him almost climb out of the hole, he held his head up high and I even saw him spread his wings once.  I didn't see any fish or animals arrive today though.

there's a big fish in the nest now but it's 11:30 pm and the family is sleeping.  i didn't know they could have a light on the nest for night viewing. evidently the light doesn't bother them.  maybe it's infrared.  looks like a big breakfast for the family tomorrow.

The latest food offering was a squirrel.  Whichever was sitting on the nest tore into it as soon as the other one flew off.  Do you suppose they get tired of fish?

The camera has a much clearer image. 
Yesterday we got a really good view of Stormy. 
He's getting so big.  Also yesterday they had an
entire fish and some other furry critter, but I
couldn't make out what it was.

Yes, I saw him finally!  He is much bigger!  And hungrier!  so windy today - it makes me cold just watching it blow.
I like the camera better too.
