Glorified Buzzards nest

[DEADEYE DICK]

Went south of town tonight.Some of you may remember I took pix of this pair last year.
The nest is right off the road and I use to pull my truck over and sit on top of it to get a better angle.
Wellllllllllllllllllllllllll,somebody decided to put no parking signs up.I can't really blame them but it ruffled my feathers
a little bit.
Once again I have light trouble,there is a nice size tree in between the nest and the setting sun causing me hot spots and shadows...One of these days I will figure this hobby out!!

One of the adults just brought back this stick and is strategically placing it in the nest

I have no idea what is in the adult's mouth but the young one seemed excited to see it!!

Dead eye,

Is there just one chick for such a large nest??? Good pictures

[Randy Clark]

congratz really looks nice

[DEADEYE DICK]

Yes,one chick last year and one chick this year

the turtle head is as good as a guess as I have heard

I cloned out some sticks and cropped the picture a little,maybe that will help with a positive ID
