The nest did not look finished and we were concerned when it appeared that she did not return to the nest that day.

A couple days later, I cked the nest and there was much down feathers and leaves and the eggs seemed covered giving me hope that she was now sitting on the nest.

This weekend I went out and saw her sitting on the nest with a leaf covering her head. I did not have the camera, but it would have been a great picture of her hiding.

So yesterday, I went out with the camera and this is what I got.

Far shot of nest. (nest is under this hemlock tree)
