Thanks, Ann and Larry. I am trying not to disturb the nesting couple. I am taking all the shots from our upper deck, probably 75 feet or more from the house. Also, I am using my old *istD, mounted on a tripod which I keep upstairs, and my FA 75-300 zoom, which is the longest lens I own (except for an old 500 mm reflector f8 screwmount), but far from the sharpest. The female is quite nervous, and rests only a second before disappearing into the house or flying away. She also keeps turning back to look in m direction. The male is far more cooperative about posing for the camera.
