Here is a screen cap of the parents on one of their visits last week.  They were busy moving sticks around that day!  My time 13:06

That is a lovely picture.  The two together in the sun light.  They have done a lot of work on the nest.  8:00

Thanks for the puzzles!  I have done all of them, but lost my times to most except for the last couple.  Starry Swirl 10:26, and Three in a Tree 28:46  :o

As a result of a weather system near the Yucatan peninsula we have had heavy rain for two days.  Good weather for working puzzles.  So I took the local weather radar and made it into a puzzle.  Since I had a lot of time I used triangles and did it in 21:04.  Should you try it I recommend a cut of less pieces.

That is a grand puzzle.  14:44  I'll never figure out the fastest times.  Must be because of a malfunctioning clock.

I call this "Fractal Feathers", good luck.  ;)
