A couple days ago I shared a pic of the little one at this nest. Here, you get a good look at the proud mother. Her and dad were doing a fantastic job of tag-teaming, and I got to see the ‘changing of the guard’ multiple times. After the male brought a fish and took to feeding the little one, mama rightfully decided she needed a break and took flight to a nearby tree. Here, you get a look at her in all her glory and, look close, you can see dad and the little one too!
