Awesome, as usual Dennis!  :o  BTW, those last two of the bird stretch are "content bird" in bird speak.  When they stretch a wing down and the leg along with it.  At least it is in parrot speak!

Enjoy all the photos you send Dennis and once again want to let you know that I love receiving them and am amazed at some of the shots that you are lucky enough to get.

We haven't seen any "hanky-panky" in the last little while, but we might have missed it if these two are going to try again. 
Even if more eggs don't happen this year, it looks like real romance for next year!  Whoever is here first will wait for the other, like P last year.  :) :)

Well, well, well...must be young love!!!  :P

Even though these two lost their eggs...it's wonderful to see that they are doing their pair bonding!  :-*

The little terrors are hanging out back on the Diner and the Bleachers and occasionally on the B&B.  Oh, and they have been hanging out at the nestsite again.  The whole food-transfer-in-the-air thingy that Dennis caught on film is part of their pair bonding rituals.  We haven't seen any "hanky-panky" in the last little while, but we might have missed it if these two are going to try again.  We hope to be able to get access a wee bit later this week to the old nestsite just to see if they have been up to some mischief since they lost their eggs ....

Happiness is sharing half a banana... ;D 

Dennis and I spent a few hours yesterday hanging out with Jules & Ivy - Dennis more than me, so when I got peckish and remembered I had brought a banana, I shared ... Dennis' views on happiness are so zen-like ...  ;)

Just at the right place at the right time...I would almost bet that nobody else viewed this exchange. Glad all have enjoyed this series of photos.

Thanks loads, Dennis, for allowing us to experience part of falcon's courtship. :)

Beautiful shots as usual Dennis!
Thank you for that series... that courtship most likely happens so fast that observers on the street would most likely miss all of that. 
Thank you so much!
