Captured these two with snack a few weeks ago, just after sun up. With all the action about this nest, I am currious to see if there are young-in there now. Been busy working the past two weekends so I have not been able to get back out and see yet.:(

Fantastic shot! Everything is right on, exposure, composition and focus. Couldn't ask for anything better. Well done.

Beautiful capture and what a good nest, safe inside a cactus.
Good shot with excellent focus on the birds.
