Thanks you. they are gorgeous. My heart gasps when I see them flying overhead.

I haven't been to the nest for a little over a week due to the heat. It's been hideously hot and humid. However, it was a bit nicer this afternoon so took myself there on the off chance someone would show up.

First off, Big Hook arrived at the nest with a headless fish. She had an occasional pick at it, but she had clearly brought it for Whopper and was looking towards the part of the bay that they've been hanging out in, calling repeatedly to her to come and get it.
