The female was real busy bringing material for her nest, the male spent the whole time watching her from a tree about 75 yards away, while enjoying the nice sunshine. These photos are from 3 different trips she made getting more construction material for her nest. After the 3rd trip she took off down to the river to fish. Gooood Old Pa just stayed in the tree watching and probably hoping she would share the fish when she gets back.
The male was probably more involved than you think. "Now get a smaller one, dear". "Carefull with that one." "Don't forget the fish" etc.
Nice light on all of these. Well done.

Great stuff Roger, I always like to see the bigger birds carrying wood around. It just seems obtuse to me.

When they get back up here for the summer they always go to work on the nest, I am guessing that is why over a number of years the nests get pretty large.
