Did a bit of Hard Drive Housekeeping tonight and found one of many sunsets taken on the North Coast, this one was from a very windy Bedruthan Steps back in April 2014 and so I thought it was time to release it from the archives and set it Free :)

Wakodahatchee Wetlands
Delray Beach, FL
I always enjoy the antics of these little beauties. One moment they're preening peacefully and the next minute they're locked in a duel to the death, racing around the garden at breakneck speed. Thanks again for visiting.
For several years now, falcons have been nesting in the gable wall of a neighboring listed industrial building in Berlin, Germany.
Birdhouse and lots of cobwebs at our barn. Never seen anything like this before. The birds are getting lax. :-)
Both male and female northern flickers are inside the cavity in this tree, pecking away until the interior suits them just right.
Here, the male has a beak full of 'detritus', tossing it skillfully out of the hollow chamber.
Colaptes auratus ♂
The better half! The female Red-bellied Woodpecker was sharing the feeding duties with the male. This nest was only about 20 feet away from me, as I was walking on a board walk.
A Larinioides patagiatus on our balcony.
I used an extension tube and a reverse ring with my old Nikkor 50mm 1.8D set to f11 to capture this one.
A South Shore Trainman is sweeping the steps of snow so passengers can board at Bendix, South Bend on New Years weekend 1977.
Bempton Cliffs. This seems to be a new nest site, the gannet is clearing small stones from the ledge and awaiting nesting material.
Housekeeping !
Also this year I picked up the plan to follow the stork's nest at restaurant "'t Stokske" in Moergestel ( The Netherlands ). My first visit was on March 4, 2022. This picture is taken on the 16th of March ! Visit the album : 2022 Ooievaarsnest 't Stokske Moergestel ( Gemeente Oisterwijk ) Noord-Brabant for this lovely couple !
Housekeeping and cooking are primary activities these days/weeks/months. Occasionally the light will catch my eye and then everything stops. I’m lost in those moments. The power of photography.

Housekeeping is a seemingly never ending process for more than just people. Blue herons can take many weeks to construct their nests. The male does most of the gathering, handing off the twigs to his partner, who does most of the construction. He frequently seems tentative, waiting to see if the twig he has brought home will please her.
A Carolina Chickadee (Poecile carolinensis) tidy's up its cavity in preparation for the upcoming nesting season. Chickadees are secondary cavity excavators. They lack tools like a sturdy, sharp beak, strong neck muscles, and reinforced skulls to penetrate the bark. Instead, they look existing holes, typically excavated by woodpeckers, and will work on removing the soft inner pulp until they've created a cozy cavity to their liking. Caro and I watched this pair doing just that in this old flowering dogwood snag.
