Can't wait for more from this nest...
Nice but for a few too many sticks. I am glad that you are liking Anita's nest. I will be heading back over on the next morning with south or east winds. There are none in the forecast right now ...

Hi Joe, I like the light in this, and it shows up lovely feather detail on the outspread wings. Well timed to capture the 'cuddle'.
Nice "action" and good behavioral image. I am wishing there were not so many branches in the way of the females head, but nothing you ca do about it. Detail is greeat and the wings of the male help make the image.
