Earlier this week you saw mama from this spot. Here is a good look at dad.

I have been watching this nest for years now and this year, interestingly enough, the male is far more active during the day than in the past. This has afforded me a few opportunities to get flight shots, something which does not normally happen often.

On this occasion, he was moving from a distant stand of trees to the one where the nest is. He took a bit of a roundabout route making this a long shot and requiring a heavy crop but it came out pretty nicely.
