It also helps that the perfect viewing point is outside the cemetery entirely, up on Moraga. From there, the nest is at eye level, far enough away to avoid disturbing the occupants but close enough for comfortable binocular viewing - and to count feathers stuck on the sides if you look through a scope (of which there were several when I arrived with mine a few days ago). It was a happy chatty party, with community members and visiting birders, while I was there....
