she is nesting, in a spruce tree along this lake.

What bird is that on the stump?

Photo quality is poor, but you can make out the bold white eye ring. Was also heard (see recording).

Syd got a recording of the call.

female; any guess what insect it is that she catches in her beak?

Sunbathing. Stayed in this pose ~30 seconds

Yellow edged tail
