I very much like the screen shot of the First Lady and Mr. President looking at each other.
Almost like they were sharing a moment together before the big day.

Enjoy your day.

I thought it was sweet how they looked at each other. It never ceases to amaze me how such predators can have such gentle sides.

Well MrP was in to check the nest again

Washington DC

Mr. President and the First Lady are at the nest this morning.
The First Lady was preening as Mr. President was working on the nest bowl.
Mr. President then hoped over next to the First Lady and the First lady then moved to the nest.
Mr. President started to preen while the First Lady worked on the nest.

MrP comes in with a big stick for the rails, but is having difficulty getting it into place. TFL says whoops let me get out of the way.
