I didn't find either the male or female yesterday morning-stayed about a half hour then went birding nearby and returned but neither in site. When I got there this morning I spotted the male right off but still no sign of the female for at least 3 days. The male spent more than 20 minutes perched to look for prey on the utility line above where I was parked so I got some nice photos from fairly close that I have uploaded to my Birds and Nature blog <http://birdsandnature.blogspot.com/>. A raven flew close to the nest tree and this male defended the probably non-viable nest by flying after the raven. It is sad to see this male waiting for the female to return and defending a nest that has been abandoned for too long.
