Buse variable (Buteo buteo) perché sur un piquet à l’affût, Neuchâtel, Suisse.
Un couple de buses variables trouve un endroit et y reste toute sa vie. Elles nichent sur les arbres élevés dans les forêts, bosquets, ou au milieu de broussailles parmi les rochers, entre 6 à 30 mètres de hauteur, autant en plaines qu’en montagnes. Le couple fait des vols nuptiaux de février à mars. Pour pondre, la femelle construit un nid ou elle y dépose 3 ou 4 œufs, la plupart du temps sur trois jours. Les œufs éclosent après 35 jours. Le mâle remplace la femelle si elle quitte le nid. Il lui apporte des proies et la nourrit pendant l'incubation jusqu'à la naissance du dernier poussin. A l'âge d’un mois, les juvéniles sont capables de manger les proies apportées au nid. Après avoir quitté le nid, ils restent dépendants des parents jusqu'au début de l’automne, période où ils prennent leurs indépendances.

The Red-necked Grebes have small chicks now and the parents have to constantly find food for them. This parent was dutifully looking for food when I captured this photo.
Taken 1 July 2018 at Westchester Lagoon, Anchorage, Alaska.
A Great Crested Grebe (Podiceps cristatus) and chick await the hatching of the two eggs remaining under the adult.
Adult Great Horned Owl and parent of the owlet shown in previous posts keeping a watchful eye (literally one eye) on the kid.
Always nice to see females with eggs! They're such good mothers though that they're infuriating, as they constantly lean towards the lens, to protect their brood!!

Mallards (Anas platyrhynchos)

Parent tern feeding its young at the Nickelson Beach in Long Island, New York.
Common Tern is the most widespread tern in North America, spending its winters as far south as Argentina and Chile. They are social birds foraging in groups and nesting on the ground in colonies.
The common tern drinks on the wing, dipping its bill in the water with its wings held up. They can drink saltwater or freshwater - like many seabirds, they have nasal glands that excrete excess salt.

Elasmucha grisea can reach a length of 6.5–8.8 millimetres (0.26–0.35 in). Males are smaller than females. These medium-sized shieldbugs are usually brown-reddish, but there are also gray (hence the Latin species name grisea) and green-brown specimen. Connexivum is black and white. The upperside is covered with several dark dots. The scutellum usually shows an evident black patch. The ventral face is largely punctuated with black. Lateral corners of the pronotum are simply beveled. The front corners of the pronotum show a more pronounced tooth. Antennas are blackish in the male, dark brown in the female. This species, like other parent bugs possess methatoracic and abdominal glands, which discharge a foul smelling secretion. This secretion is used to deter potential enemies and is sometimes released when the bug is disturbed.

A brother and I stopped at “Our Parents Place” to reminisce for a bit before going on a cruise together. It was a beautiful day and by chance we wanted to get a couple photos of our street rods. We live a few hundred apart and wanted to pay our folks the respect of a visit. We had a blast and our folks never said a negative word. Gratitude and Kindness paid off again.
N&W scene at Roanoke Shops: C628 (1125.) Family vacation" time (just my parents and I) landed us in Roanoke for the night, and an EARLY arising after a rainy night, to take the car down to the Shops and wander about freely before returning in time for breakfast. I knew the way from the motel as I had taken the car the previous evening to the station to sample the N&W passenger scene. They actually had two pairs of passenger trains, one of which visited while I was there, and another two pairs they ran in concert with the Southern through Bristol. I wish I had pix to share of that magical Shenandoah evening; I was pretty impressed (well, okay, I was not even to my 17th birthday.) I also noticed that the Shops was right next door to the depot, so the next morning's plans were set.
