I have given up on JigZone.  I sent them 2 e-mails asking about the trouble putting a picture in and they never answered.  I have 400+ pictures in my page so I will just rework some with a different cut.  Unfortunately there won't be many from this year's nest and no recent ones.  I may post one or two in here from time to time but I hope never one that is too fresh from previous posting here.

Here is Mom, near N1 in February a year ago.  I have worked it in 7 different cuts.  The fastest being 87 crazy at 8:56, the longest being 184 crazy at 32:57.  It presents some challenges where content is paramount rather than shape.  I don't remember posting it before but then my memory leaves a lot to be desired.  Do you suppose that has anything to do with being 91?

Here is a resurrected puzzle.  D12 is hovering and Ds 13 & 14 are looking as if they are saying "How'd he do that?"  Stars 13:13

It took me 17:42 to escape from those hovering talons.  Nice one, JP!  Thank you for posting this puzzle.

About a week and a half ago, on a very windy night, both Mom and Dad were on the nest to protect the little ones.  That is the first time in over 4 years of watching that I have seen both parents sleeping in the nest.  Here is a capture I made of that event.  Stars 16:31.

I tiptoed around that nest for 12:57 - 79 stars.
