I'm SURE the giant nest is OK. elleng Apr 2023 #4

and I might walk to boat house but for steepness of hill (and today's wind.)

Will try to get pics (tomorrow?) but may still be windy until 4 p.m., and bamboo hinders view even from my parking spot there. I suspect big nest is intact, as protected from wind, on creek.

I also think that the giant nest is probably all snugly clumped together and ok.

Trying to build a nest on that owl box in an exercise in futility, as we saw last year.
