It’s interesting to watch them rear their young. They take turns feeding them. The “off-duty” parent often sleeps on a limb in a nearby tree within eyesight of the nest.
When the “on-duty” parent returns with food, he/she stops to check on the sleeping mate before feeding the kids. Very cool.

One of my favorite birds. Nothing subtle about them and that makes me happy.

That would be great and compel me to post more frequently. Thanks!

They're a mated pair taking turns sitting on this year's brood of eggs. We're hopeful the eggs successfully hatch and we'll get to see some little ones soon.
