Located a fresh nest a week or so ago. Since then I've seen both birds in and out of the whole and in the cavity at various times. I went to look mid morning today and found this bird soaking some rays during a warm day in Seattle. Light was a bit harsh. I could have moved to get a better light angle. I could have gone higher and to my left, but I am waiting for when the chicks hatch to draw that much attention as it is a public place. Birds are tame though. The green leaves moved in between as I was photographing due to wind and I think I like the effect it creates in the image... some images during their rearing the young coming soon I hope!!!
