Very nice here, and had another pair on roof of a shed at edge of adjacent creek, below. Watched them tending their brood couple of months ago, which I never actually saw, due to my point of view.

Noticed the nest in the OP some weeks ago. Its at top of a tree next to my patio, so have been watching it for signs of life.

EARLY this morning, while checking the final moments of SuperMoon, to the west, and looking east for sunrise, I saw big bird carrying fish over the creek, so went to south-facing window, which is over my pillow and very near nest-tree, and saw these 2. So grabbed camera again! Very exciting, for 5:30-ish in the morning!
