From May 4-6 Charlie spent much of the day making trips between the west end of Fishers Island and the Niantic River area of Connecticut, presumably to provide fish for the female on the nest:

5/4/14    Around 5:30 a.m. Charlie heads to the mainland and reaches the Niantic River shortly after 6 a.m. but quickly returns to the Island and circles the west end before heading out again around 9:30 a.m. to reach Kenny Cove by 10 a.m. Around 11 a.m. he heads back to Fishers Island. Around 1 p.m., Charlie heads out again to fish along the Niantic River and Latimer Brook until 3 p.m., when he appears to be heading back to the Island but circles back before reaching New London and spends the rest of the afternoon at Latimer Brook and the Niantic River. Around 6:30 p.m., he heads back to the west end of Fishers Island for the rest of the night.
