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! ;)

"Guarding the Nest" is a non-HDR image that was processed in ACR, and later finished in Photoshop.
Ps processing also includes the use of Topaz Labs plugins -- Adjust, Clean, Denoise, Detail, LensFX, and Impression.
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.

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.
Just back from damp Easter weekend down in Monmouthshire with family. Not really a great weekend for getting out with the camera, but I did get up to the Eagles Nest above the River Wye, just North of Chepstow, last night and I took this panorama as a little light penetrated the dark skies and lit up the meadows below.
It is quite a climb up from the valley to this point, but it is worth it for the view. I must get here in Autumn for a picture with the autumn colours creating a much different feel to the scene. From here you can see the Severn Bridge spanning the Bristol Channel and Chepstow Racecourse on the right middle of this shot.
This is seven frames merged in photoshop to create a wider shot taking in the bend in the River Wye.
It's that time of year. I hope the white squirrel I've been following has babies this year!

My last photo group outing was something a little different- we shadowed a biologist as she visited nests in Illinois' Pyramid State Park where she is monitoring them. She has located more than 60 nests, and we visited perhaps a dozen. Some had been depredated and the eggs were gone, but she also found some new ones and additional eggs in previously-located nests. It was a cool experience, and helped me to appeciate how resilient birds have to be: the eggs and chicks were removed and documented (note marks on some eggs) and then returned and re-hidden. We carefully returned the vegetation to its original position and made sure to leave in a different direction than that from which we came in the hope that predators would not track our scent back to the sites.

These two Ospreys were in the process of building their nest on the grounds of Fort Pickens on the West end of Pensacola Beach Florida as I captured this shot.

A HUGE thank you to @Di Barton who mentioned that her clip on lenses were nested together, so I went back to look and so were mine!!.... now I’m wondering how it changed the pictures- did the wide increase the magnification? More experimentation later
...... (pardon the cat hair)
Happy Valentine's Day everyone!! Linda and I thought this image would be a good image to honor this special day!!! We shot this image on Sunday and just fell in love with it!! Linda and I hope you enjoy the photo as much as we did taking it and watching these amazing birds!!

Wasp nest
The wasps are a subfamily of the wasps with 61 species worldwide. In Central Europe there are eleven species of the real wasp, among them the German wasp, the common wasp and the hornet. Occasionally the field wasps, which also form part of the state, are classified as real wasps. I found this wasp nest in the Hochbermel Germany nature reserve.
The nest is empty, the eggs gone, only some feathers and straw left now, seems colder...
Easter Monday…
Happy to have some of the child still in my heart and mind!
LOL. Have a good one, enjoy the chocolate (+;~)

From All About Birds: "NEST DESCRIPTION
Both male and female help build the remarkable hanging nest, a process that may go on for a month or more. The nest hangs up to a foot below its anchor point and has a hole in the side near the top that leads down into the nest bowl. The adults make a stretchy sac using spider webs and plant material, sometimes stretching the nest downward by sitting in it while it’s still under construction. They add insulating material such as feathers, fur, and downy plant matter and camouflage the outside with bits taken from nearby plants, including the tree the nest is built in. While the nest is active all the adults associated with it (the breeding pair plus helpers) sleep in it. The pair typically reuses the nest for its second brood of the season."
