I made a small gallery in Flickr. https://www.flickr.com/photos/jb_sessoms/albums/72157706283448271
I've added a few more photos to the album, including one that shows both parents perched above the nest.
I dug out my "Bigma". I've always been slightly disappointed in it. It seemed just a tad too soft last time I used it (with the K20D - never tried it with the K-3), but it worked well enough this time. Image quality is acceptable.
My lust for a SMC Pentax-F 600 f/4 or SMC Pentax-FA 600 f/4 has been rekindled if anyone has one for sale and is willing to take American Express**.
Looks like I need to review a tutorial on color grading to get all the images to have the the same quality. After I've done that, I'll probably replace the images in the album.
This has been a fairly cool experience. The nest is less than seven miles from my house, so it's been easy to get to since I figured out where to park.
And it's been the most visible nest of all the ones I know about around area lakes. I'm not having to point the camera up too much to get a good image. But the best part has been all the other people I've met while out there to photograph the nest.
