2:59 pm in rollback, Trooper watched in the nest when Ma comes in with another evergreen branch. They dance around each other then a little sweet beaking. They certainly are building a nice railing of evergreen branches.

3:09 pm in rollback, Ma now moves around Trooper to give the nest bowl a test drive. She lies down and kicks her feet. So very sweet to see her trying out the nest bowl.
