Hello Everybody,
Welcome back Larry!
We love visiting this nest, and will continue to do so.
I love the pictures of the yougster stretching his/her wings. It's so exciting to see them getting ready for the big day, when they take their first flight! Time goes by so fast.

Hello Everyone,
Happy Belated Mother's Day to all the Moms, Grandmas and Great-Grandmas out there! Hope you all had a wonderful day!

Hi TEF, To the best of my knoledge, there is only one baby in this nest. Though I've only been watching this nest for a very short time, I've only seen the one.

We made some quick rounds this morning, and this was our first stop of the day. One of the adults was on a branch of the nest tree, calling due to the fact a crow was being bothersome.

Then we checked the nest, and the youngster was peeking back, with a yawn

We weren't lucky enough to see this youngster stretch his/her wings, but we do hope we get that opportunity.

I can't get over how fast these youngsters grow!

Hello Everyone,

This was one of the few stops we did in the company of Larry and Dawn today.

Ma was sitting in the nest tree watching watching her youngster doing wingersizes

I was holding my breath as I watched him/her flapping his/her wings and hop around, getting higher and higher with each hop!
