My first self-found reed bunting (Emberiza schoeniclus) nest, holding three young. This is one of the few Swedish expressions I know. I learned it by eavesdropping on a conversation between Júlio Neto and Bruno (his older son)!

Tree swallows on the shores of Lake St. Louis, Quebec, have nice high-rises, much prized during the spring, when they are real beehives of activity, with parents coming and going endlessly to bring food for their young. Though this shot was taken in the autumn. There's also a paved foot-path there for people to stroll along the lakeshore, much frequented by locals. There's also a bike-path, from where I took this picture.
Can't remember what type of bird this is - possible a falcon? Taken at Stockley Farm (an excellent day out for the kids). This is cropped by about 1/3 to get a composition I'm happy with as I only have a 105mm zoom.
Oh, a wondrous bird is the pelican!
His bill holds more than his belly can.
He can take in his beak
enough food for a week.
But I’m darned if I know how the hell he can.

Oman is home to an impressive number of species of birds that vary from residents, that stay all year around, to breeding birds, that spend a good part of the growing season in Oman to raise their young, migrants who pass through Oman with the seasons, to wintering birds who like to spend a good part of the winter in Oman to escape colder conditions up north. While many species of birds are relatively common as they are part of the ecosystems of the state, it is always a thrill to stumble upon a rare bird or vagrant, that does not really form part of any the Oman ecosystems. Maybe it got lost during its travels between its summer and winter residence or it got displaced by bad weather

One of three humming birds that I see regularly drinking the nectar of the pommerac flowers everyday!

I didn't have luck with the weather during a brief stay at Myalben - rain, cold and windy. The birds still love the magnificent Grevillea and a passing parade of wet honeyeaters is all I managed to photograph.
Here a juvenile Blue-faced Honeyeater protests the weather briefly between feeding.
Have only had one pair of Goldfinch this winter. Due to heavy rain (Yea!!) I moved the full feeders to the porch today. A flock of American Goldfinch appeared this morning and they have taken over all the feeders running off most of the other birds. It's pretty dark outside and difficult to get a good picture...this was one of the better ones.
Frozen in place and ready to strike. It's head is cocked off to the left of its lower neck.
This is the same bird as in other recent uploads.

One day out around the "Lac du Der" with Alain Balthazard, a Naturalist Photographer specialist of the area.
Common cranes flying.
I do like this picture as all the birds have another position with their wings.
Overnight we had a nice little shower that soaked all the vegetation, live or dead. When dawn approached, a glorious light occured. These birds seemed to rather enjoy shaking the old tree to 'make a shower'. Not quite a bird bath, but a more conservative shower ;-)
Sorry, I ain't been around much, kids and all that.
