I love them shots

The second image really captures the  the underside of the tail feathers. Notice how much shorter the outer feathers are.
the bird still has Juvenile feathers & looks like it is only a few months older than the Fledglings.

Could it be Dad?

Thanks Napper, she is a young bird but from what I could see a good mother, this is the female the male was quite a bit smaller and I havn`t seen him for a while now, this bird is always by the nest when not out hunting.
