Hi Burn. Yes it is really good that the action has finally picked up. Thanks for your concern about my safety. With each step I take, I remind myself to tread cautiously and that no shot is worth getting a broken leg for.

Thanks, Granny Grunt. I'm glad you're enjoying them.

Yes, Kim, both Pete and I are hoping for multiple successful hatchlings this year.

Thanks, Pelle. They really are beautiful to see together. Dad is such a darling. There are long periods of inactivity, but every so often he'll fly off and come back with a nice stick for Big Hook. He knows how to woo a gal.

Thanks, duc. The lighting will continue to improve over the coming weeks. Already it's noticeably different to only two weeks ago. The nest isn't in shadow as early, either.

Thank you nanny. It's when they're viewed from a distance that the size difference is obvious. She is a big girl.

Well, the mating continues with great enthusiasm. Pete was already there when I arrived this afternoon and he'd observed them once. I saw them a twice today and Madame X reports that the greatest action occurs during mid morning.
