They are back! One of my favorite seasonal visitors has returned. Yesterday, a pair was re-establishing their homes in the foothills, busily working on their nest that had been severely damaged by wind over the winter. Well, in truth, it is the female that did all the work. While she brought in multiple sticks, he sat across the road in a tree, just watching her.
