k-i-s-s-i-n-g? Don't know (and not an anthropomorphist (!), but the tree is along Lake Drive/Hwy 23 very near to my house. They were there when I left to take son to school this AM, and there when I came back, so I went to get camera. They were still there, but even tho my camera has a nice zoom feature they are still pretty small. They were at the top of a very large cottonwood. Both are full adults. Their heads were so bright in the early sun! The tree is nice and tall and might have several spots to build... But I would have thought that they'd be almost done building by now, and I wouldn't like to think they like a spot right on this quite busy road... There are a couple of established nests in the area, but I'm going to be watching for construction activities now...
