3:30 pm SM up top in the tree with SF down in the nest bowl.

Great closeup! I find it hard to zoom all the way in and be in focus.
Is this SF? It looks like a female beak to me, and she looks bigger than the one lying in the nest, though that's always tricky because of perspective.
Heading up higher.
Added - oops. Thanks for the ID. (It's SM)

Judy that is SM as noticed the notch in his wing before he went up on the upper branch. I find it hard to focus on the south cam too when getting close.JudyB wrote: ↑Sat Dec 03, 2022 3:36 pmGreat closeup! I find it hard to zoom all the way in and be in focus.

And now I see the bit of dark shading on the tail of the one in the nest, an indication that it is SF.
And she just went out on the West perch - which is a place that SF uses more than SM.
Or at least that was the case in the past - as we know, they can change their favored perches over time.

1:38 pm SF gets up from the nest bowl. She is so pretty. Can just see those two faded feathers on her back.

4:18pm.....Thanks Judy and Sandy........I guess this pair is coming the nest sooner now that sunset time is also happening earlier.
I am IN on both cams.........doubt if the adults will return now, but you never know.
