Setting up

I waited 50 min (5:40 - 6:30) and finally Susan appeared - quite tentative and quietly - seems she does not want a repeat of yesterday (Apr 29 2016)

After 50 Minutes, She Arrives With Hesitation

I waited 50 minutes and Susan finally came - though tentatively and with hesitation. Seems yesterday's encounter with Grumpy had an effect. She would not eat when I sat next to her. When joggers passed - she raced to a nearby tree. Finally a dog passed by and she climbed up a tree - and left by an aerial path to her home

Eating with 1 hand

Eating with one hand

This morning she deviated from her usual table manners. Typically she eats with two hands - but this morning, she mostly ate with one had as shown below. Look at her fingers - 4 and a shorter one like a thumb. Fortunate to be able to sit next to her and observe.
