Yes, we haven’t seen much in the way of nest maintenance, but we have seen Mom moving a bothersome stick out of her way. You can see that their beaks just aren’t designed for carrying heavy sticks like the eagles. Nonetheless she finally got it out of her way!

Food shelf and maybe playpen. That’s a nice big nest, but it’s 75 feet up so it’s nice to have a bit of a corral around the chicks once they start moving around the nest!
