Another shot of the nest, it must be almost complete. We had some strong winds last night here in Virginia, the nest survived. The ability of these birds to build like this to me is amazing!!!

Canon 40D, 100-400L @ 340mm, AP, F/7.1, 1/125sec, iso200, handheld, fill flash used.

C&C Welcome

Very nice presentation Dave, you did well with the fill flash (it looks much better than your previous post) and the bright sky background. I like your comp as well. :toast:
