    Meet the parents...well one of them anyway...the other was higher up and more obscured by branches.





    I so wish I was better at bird photography.
    I know where they are so I might go back and give it another go. I thought I heard them the other morning hooting in the same area and low and behold..there they were today!
    Used a tripod but I still don't think they are sharp enough.

    One more:
    They just blend in so well with the trees.


    The other parent was sleeping a bit higher up and well hidden in the trees and leaves:
