Alas

A sad little huddle - sic transit gloria etc
I got a little closer to the nest today but still not in good light - I can definitely say it is a nest and there was a big bird sticking its head up. Of course a red-tailed hawk nest looks pretty much the same from a distance. In the extra, one of the large birds watching me, silhouetted in the sunset - I didn't attempt to get closer as I didn't want to disturb him.
