Had the lighting been good this afternoon, I'd have more to show. However, it was lousy, so just a couple. Here's a shot of Dad and Big Hook. They not only chose a time when the nest was in full shadow, but also waited until the sun went behind clouds to mate. The nest is not unattended now and there are several identifiable offerings in the remake of the nest. What I did notice is that Big Hook's posture is different. She's standing more upright and with her body tilted slightly forwards - maybe she's "heavy with eggs". This is a shot of Dad as he was flying away from the nest.
