Lots of action Wednesday morning OCT 30 at 9:00 - 9:30 AM

Mary Lou and I arrived at the nest site at 9:05 AM this morning and found the male on the nest.



It flew off almost immediately but both male and female returned at 9:13 AM. We think the male brought in a large stick. The female watched as the male worked with the nest material for a short time.



Then the female flew down and joined him at 9:15 AM.







The pair worked together on nest construction until the female flew off at about 9:18 AM.



The female returned with a stick at 9:32 AM and the pair touched bills and postured in a recognition ritual that lasted less than a minute.







The female then rearranged some sticks that the male had already placed.



However, they did work cooperatively.



Then at 9:35 the male pulled at a string that looks like monofilament fishing line, which could pose a hazard.
