Got A Beak Full Of Bark Too

His second attempt was successful and he now had bark in one foot and his beak. With no warning he took off and flew over my head, across the road and delivered the material into the nest. When I caught up with him, he had already placed the bark & again flew over my head, past the tree line and out of sight.
