Got to the nest about 5:30 am . Ozzie and Harriet were in their favorite tree. Sitting side by side. Harriet greeted the morning in her usual manner by vocalizing and Ozzie did some too. Ozzie moved up one branch then Harriet followed him  and then I thought for a few seconds we were going to have mating. Harriet sure was telling him yes and Ozzie was saying no. I guess Ozzie had the headache this morning. Ozzie even moved to another branch after the discussion. He sat there for a few mins then I guess Ozzie had a change of heart and joined Harriet back on the same branch and there was mating this time.  This was around 7:10 am .
They both sat there preening, Harriet rousing her feathers and trying to look all innocent after what just took place. LOL


I got a good photo of Ozzie's short claw. It's looks to be growing back. Yay!
 Still a bit short but at least it's coming back. They sat there for about an hour then Harriet decided it was time to go check out the nest. She wasn't there but maybe 2 mins when Ozzie had to go see what she was doing to "His" sticks . lol They both did  some rearranging then Harriet went to the attic branch. Ozzie left and went to get a stick. Ozzie got a few and Harriet did too plus trying to get some pine. She was hanging upside down trying to get some pine  from the nest tree. I didn't get that in a photo but did get her just after with a few pine needles in her talons.  
   Of course if you were watching the cam ,you got to see a lot of beaking going on as each stick was brought in and being placed where Ozzie wanted it. Harriet still try's but she is getting the idea, it's better to just get out of Ozzie's way most of the time.
They mated again in the nest tree up on the attic branch for all of the World to see...lol I'm telling you, they have no shame !
After their mating Ozzie was off and flying to get more sticks for the nest.Ozzie and 1 of his sticks .


Both Ozzie and Harriet rested for awhile then one by one they left headed northwest around 9-9:30 am . I stayed for about an hour just in case they came back which they didn't so I left.  Another great day with Ozzie & Harriet.
