Owls are super capable of providing for their family. This female Great Horned Owl, large and powerful with lethal talons and the ability to fly silently in the dark has no problem providing for her family. I think she'd be capable of providing for a a neighborhood if we were willing to eat her fare. (Bubo virginianus)
Urban foxes have to work twice as hard to find enough food to feed their families. Click twice to enlarge.
Inside this tin covered engine-shed is a broken grain-elevator lift engine. So they backed this old tractor up to the shed and connected its output shaft to the belt-drive inside.
Want some grain? Fire-up the tractor.

The male of a pair of blackbirds nesting in a bay tree in my garden. This is situated right outside my patio doors which is handy, I can hear the little ones all the time. The only problem is my cat, she caught him in the week & brought him inside where I managed to grab him quickly before any harm was done. I popped him back where he is in the picture & he scutttled back into the tree.
This is an image of a Great Blue Heron who I felt was very proud of his find on this particular trip. they work so hard to find the nesting material and sometimes it turns out to be a little wee stick while other times it is a real prize.
Here is the male of a local nesting pair of bald eagles. The female had finished eating on the food he returned and then settled down into the nest to the right. He continued to eat in the eat-and-check pattern common to so many species. I got him here on a check with the sun hitting him like a spotlight. This is as good as he will look in this nesting season. Once the hatch occurs, he gets very busy and actually will look gaunt by May.

Philadelphia, PA. For the first time since 2018, T4 has young red-tailed hawks to feed. This season was off to a slow start, but egg incubation began on April 8 and hatching seems to have followed the standard timeline. The nest is too high to see the eyasses right now, so the number is unknown. Fledging is expected at the end of June.

American Robins, both parents, were busy gathering wiggling earthworms to feed their fledglings hiding in the understory brush.
Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia, Canada
During the time that we have been here in Annapolis Royal, this fishing boat was being repaired and getting a new coat of paint. It's really amazing how quickly that they have accomplished this work. Here the sign painter is putting the finishing touches on the name.
See the next photo for a shot of the whole boat.

This hard-working male Cross Fox caught vole after vole. He did something I've never seen before, he would bury the voles very shallow in the snow with his nose and later gather several and take them to the den.
One single long exposure. No photoedition : straight out of the camera except for contrast/crop.

Light painting session with Martin Gerard, Gregory Lamouline, Sylvain Horne
One year ago, I've ordered a CRT tool from the mechanic magician Alan Thompson, brother (and official provider) of the talented Chris Thompson.
But this piece of mechanic has remained unused until yesterday. As I was going to spend a light painting evening with two CRT enthousiasts, I've decided to finally give a try !
Of course, as a total newbie about CRT, I have everything to learn, but I love how it creates unpredictable results (for me). It opens a lot of new possibilities and now my brain is making bubbles. :)
This is the male of a pair of local barn owls (Tyto alba). I've not seen them for a month and with the appalling weather and the constant presence of jackdaws at the roost I was afraid they had not survived. Great to see him hunt successfully, return straight to the nest with the catch and go back out immediately.
This bald cypress tree was most likely damaged in a storm and the cleanup crew left the stump that is providing food for plant life and wildlife as it slowly decays in the swamp. Nature takes care of it's own without drawing attention to the important function it lends back to itself.
A good read: The Hidden life of Trees.
6Z73 Sinfin - Eastleigh passing Kingsbury on time. It then went via Lea Marston instead of booked Whitacre, and parked at Duddesden for ages, got going a couple of hours late. Two of the tanks used for Rolls Royce fuels, presumably some fettling needed at Eastleigh. Thanks to gen providers.
This time of year the birds are busy courting and building nests and of course the great blue herons put on a wonderful show for all. Their amazing feather detail and color make them a true masterpiece of creation and what a privilege it is to see them in the process of building the future !!
Wishing you all a restful and blessed night !
