I got back from my two week trip to OR and my first stop was to see if my little female and her nest had survived. I was glad to see that everything appears to be ok and that, probably, the nest is now complete. It looks like she is still sitting on her eggs but I expect it won't be too much longer before the little ones arrive. My problem is nosey neighbors! Because the branch the nest is on is relatively close to the ground, I don't want anyone to know it is there so I am staying away when I see the neighbors out or the visiting kids in the nearby pool. Since this is a community where over half the people are only here on weekends, come Monday I can probably check things out. I'll never be able to get above the nest to take pictures, but we may see a couple of little beaks eventually! I'll keep everyone posted.

Oh Carla, I'm so envious!!! What a thrill to be able to see it and it being so close to you. you are wise not to tell the neighbors...at least for now...
Yes, please keep us posted!

Carla, That is just an amazing photo. I can only imagine how exciting this is for you! Monday must seem so far away....LOL but good for you to keep her away from any disturbances.
