These are very nice.
How were you able to get this angle?

That is adorable; and a helluva angle to have...nice shot

Thank you Eric. Yes, birds were very thoughtful with their nest location (see my note below to Hollywood1053).

Thank you. The nest is on an ocean hill/cliff side about 150-200 ft from my shooting location, which was on another small bluff maybe 15-20 ft higher than the nest, with a small valley between. (Bit of a climb for my old bones.) First image above is cropped to about 25% of the original frame, at 600mm (=970mm on the 90D sensor).

Image below shows a bit more context @ 300mm (w Canon lens). Hadn't brought a tripod so had to keep the speed up a bit. Adult had just come back to the nest.

Magnificent couple of photos. Shows the nurturing side of such a beautiful bird of prey.
Quite a contrast with its meal of same kind spread about whilst it tenderly cares for such tiny birds.
You really captured nature in action do very nicely.

Thank you. Yes, a handy larder for the wee ones.
