We Are Family

Working hard to make the little ones warm and comfy...
Our friends at the Rondout provided us with entertainment of the most serene variety, today. There is at least one baby in the nest. Mama and Papa were extremely busy providing fresh bedding for their potential brood. 
Coming in for a landing with the first batch of fresh bedding...
As you might recall from seasons past, this nest is in full view from the road side, as it affords our birds of prey a proper perspective of the reservoir, where hunting opportunities abound. What a spectacular gift from Mother Nature... yes, the Rondout's rewards so justify the lengthy drive.
Guarding the nest...
I'm beyond thrilled with today's captures. Please enjoy them, and don't forget to left double-click to enlarge further. 
Look hard and you will see Mama, Papa and one newborn... trust me!
Here's to soaring peacefully in beautiful freedom...  Nicki
Another trip and a few more fresh linens...
