I was at Saxe Pt. Park this afternoon and Ma was perched in the nest tree. Pa was perched at the top of a tree across the harbour. I just got home from a party and haven't uploaded any pics yet but will do that tomorrow morning.

Some pics of Ma perched above the nest, taken yesterday from the path below. We had nice sunny weather in the morning but by the time I got to the park it was after 1 pm and the clouds had rolled in. Click bigger.

A few more pics of Ma preening, taken from the beach below. The tide was in so I couldn't get back very far. Click bigger.

2 final pics of Ma, taken from the beach below. She was preening, then having a good scratch. You can see one of her head feathers in the air. Also a pic of Pa perched at the top of the tree across the harbour, taken from the lookout area. Click bigger.

I love the capture of Ma preening with one of her wee white feathers floating aloft, Kay. Left thumb up

elle, I tried to find that head feather but it must have fallen into the bushes on the bank above the beach path.

Bev, the tree Pa was perched in was a long ways away. I was using my 500mm lens and the pic I posted above was cropped. Here's the uncropped version with my 500mm lens. You wouldn't see Pa without using binoculars or the lens. Click bigger.
