Hunting Great Blue Herons wade slowly or stand statue-like, stalking fish and other prey in shallow water or open fields. Watch for the lightning-fast thrust of the neck and head as they stab with their strong bills. Their very slow wingbeats, tucked-in neck and trailing legs create an unmistakable image in flight.
Great Blue Herons have a long back toe that helps them to grab onto branches to sit in trees and to nest in them. They build sturdy stick nests. Most of them nest in colonies of a few to hundreds of pairs, but some Great Blue Herons are more territorial and nest far from others. No one understands why some are so much more solitary than others.

This was taken Dec of 2019, this nest location never worked out for them as they could never get more that a few branches into the tree before they all would fall out. These Bald Eagles work very well together in trying to construct a new nest.
Swallows have come back to the I-5 Freeway Overpass on the sheltered side of the bridge overlooking the San Dieguito River and Valley Walk. About 48 nests were constructed in the past week. Each dab on the nest was the little bird's mouthful of clay, built by pairs for their nest and eggs.
Birds take off in a large groups to feed on insects in the morning or at dusk, or to rebuild and strengthen their handiwork.
Came across this active beauty while wandering around the pond at Royal Roads. Was struck by the intricacy and detail.
A beautiful sight............at 500mm.

Last week I posted an image of a Pigeon sitting on her nest and I titled it "Your Own Home". Some people were curious about the babies and truthfully, this is my first time seeing Pigeon babies. I noticed these two just yesterday and they were not moving much. So they are quite young yet. I am surprised by their appearance! They look almost prehistoric and nothing like the adult. It's the orange tufts of fluff that really surprise me. I hope to capture their development over the next few days and I will keep you posted. Happy Wing Wednesday!

Good Monday Morning folks, and hope a great Holiday weekend was had by all and a safe one as well.
I thought I would post this to show that there really was a nest to protect and how the behavior of the Juvy depicted the behavior of the adult, and also was in a defensive pose even at that age. Thanks to all for visiting and have a wonderful day.
This Say's Phoebe has a nest in the eves of our desert shack. This morning, wearing the color black, I hid in the shade and took shots of the Phoebes bringing food to the nest.

They have decided to build their nest in our garden about 2 yards from the house, a prime spot for photos!

On our recent North Carolina trip we decided to take a pontoon boat ride down the Intracoastal Waterway. The tour boat was rocking around quite a bit that morning, but I did manage to capture this osprey nest atop one of the channel markers.
She was none too happy about our boat even approaching the marker, even though we were just cruising by. This time of year it's not uncommon for the nests to be housing Osprey chicks, as breeding season is from March to May in the Carolinas.
They are very beautiful (in an angry bird sort of way), and certainly a bit of a challenge to photograph w/ only a pair of sea legs to help keep things steady! ;)

This sweet little Anna's Hummingbird is nesting in my yard amongst the Buddleia Bush, there are two tiny eggs in there.
Update one egg didnt make it the weather tuned cold and I dont think she could keep them both warm. But there is a healthy baby that has his feathers now and is filling out nest.

It was an interesting day to look at the clouds, this one I thought looked like a chick sat in it's nest.
We were so very fortunate to see this Western Kingbird nest recently. She was sitting on the nest when we first saw it. When we returned a couple weeks later, the babies were hiding under her. They appeared to be close to fledging so we looked in on them a few days later to find them out of the nest.
Dad was standing guard against Crows and other invaders.
It was such a treat to see them just briefly through the nesting process at a respectable distance. I waited to post until they were gone.
Eagle Nest, Arizona was the 'station too far' for me, on my first visit to the area last winter. I had naively attempted to navigate the BNSF access road from near Williams, through to Crookton in one day. After almost rolling my rental on a cinder access road near East Eagle Nest, I had given up and left with no photos at the classic location to show for my efforts.
This year I returned with better situational awareness of the geography, roads, and photo angles, in additional to a rental vehicle better suited to the terrain.
One of two empty unit tank trains at the back of 'the morning fleet' east out of Needles speeds through Eagle Nest, on one of the massive fills that characterize the Crookton Cutoff. High sun position, and the flat black tank cars detract from this image somewhat, but I was pleased nonetheless to finally have an Eagle Nest shot in my album.
