How about these 4 Great Blue Heron nestlings, way high in a eucalyptus tree?! They're looking pretty fired up, expecting a parent to deliver breakfast. A few years ago, the first time I heard their loud begging, I thought maybe a coyote had gotten somethng big before I found the source of the ruckus. I had hoped to get them younger, but I kept missing them out of sight down in the nest, winds blowing, etc. Good part is, all 4 heads are in sight here. (Don't miss #4, kinda underneath the leftmost chick. In fact, it was a tough morning - baby heron chicks, rushing grebes - what's a gal to do??

Canon F-1, Scan from Ektachrome
I posted a bad scan of this image years ago and after it was published in an art magazine, I got a message from the woman pictured on the left. She was a student in New York City at the time and her adult son saw this image in that magazine. She said she was a psychologist on Long Island and I agreed to chat with her on the phone. She peppered me with questions about what motivated me to take the picture which made me feel uncomfortable.
Penduline Tit - Remiz Pendulinus
The Eurasian penduline tit or European penduline tit (Remiz pendulinus) is a passerine bird of the genus Remiz. The genus name is the Polish word for the Eurasian penduline tit, and pendulinus is Latin for "hanging down”, which refers to its nest.
It is relatively widespread throughout Eurasia. The breeding range of the species in Western Europe experienced an expansion during the 1980s and 1990s. This was accompanied by an expansion of the species’ winter range and reached as far south as northern Morocco.
It builds an elaborate hanging nest, formerly used in Central Europe as children's slippers.
The common name of the family reflects the tendency of most species to construct elaborate pear-shaped nests. These nests are woven from spiderweb, wool and animal hair and soft plant materials and is suspended from twigs and branches in trees. The nests of the African genus Anthoscopus are even more elaborate than the Eurasian Remiz, incorporating a false entrance above the true entrance which leads to a false chamber. The true nesting chamber is accessed by the parent opening a hidden flap, entering and then closing the flap shut again, the two sides sealing with sticky spider webs.
