A Night Away~Hawk Visits Nest~More Cribrails & Grasses~M Wants H's Stick Grab 10-12-16

Harriet, with grasses, & M15, with a stick, arrived at the nest from across the road just before 8am. A hawk was checking out the nest before they arrived. 9 sticks and 2 bunches of grasses were added while I was there. A comical event was M15 branch hopping below Harriet with her newly grabbed stick, trying to grab it from her, when she promptly flew with it back to the nest. Crib rails keep rising... just about even with Harriet's shoulders today.

Hard At Nest Work & Mating~Strengthening Their Bond 10-13-16

Harriet & M15 added 12 sticks, 2 bunches of moss and 2 of grasses in 1.5 hours this am, plus they took time out to bod and mate. The crib rails are getting so high that M15 had to fly up and launch over them from the nest when leaving. Their bond is strengthening through all the activities they do together.
