This Downy Woodpecker was hammering away with it's pointed bill, making a hole in this tree. A closer look at the head shows the eye covered by the nictitating membrane. The translucent nictitating membrane helps to moisten the eye as well as offer protection.

"Roving Reporter Rich Border here, STOP TYPING, I'M BROADCASTING! This reporter has just discovered that Cormornant Construction has filed for Chapter Eleven bankruptcy and will cease construction immediately on what would have been a third bridge over the Tacoma Narrows, to my horror I witnessed many of the employees dive off of the unfinished structure into the cold deep waters below upon receiving the news.
Flybynight construction has stated that it will pick up where their failed competitor left off but only if the state comes up with a large deposit first, nothing from Olympia on that. In the meantime, WISDOT has stated that without the competition of the third bridge they will be raising the toll on the Gig Harbor side and adding a new one for those attempting to leave Tacoma. We now return you to Heidi, already in progress..."
Pierr'Eau au sommet de la Bretagne ! Pour les puristes : si (et seulement si) on monte tout en haut de l'échafaudage... ;-)
Construction at Wolf Point has been ongoing for years. The tallest, soon to be aka Salesforce Tower, has yet to be topped out.
Captured in: Duck, NC.
Seen here is a pair of Ospreys starting construction on a new nest. This couple was building on a platform near the shoreline of the Currituck Sound in Duck, NC.
The male was patrolling the shoreline in search of a meal and some construction to continue work on the nest.
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.

Market Street is an important thoroughfare in San Francisco, California. It begins at The Embarcadero in front of the Ferry Building at the northeastern edge of the city and runs southwest through downtown, passing the Civic Center and the Castro District, to the intersection with Corbett Avenue in the Twin Peaks neighborhood. Beyond this point, the roadway continues as Portola Drive into the southwestern quadrant of San Francisco. Portola Drive extends south to the intersection of St. Francis Boulevard and Sloat Boulevard, where it continues as Junipero Serra Boulevard.
Market Street is the boundary of two street grids. Streets on its southeast side are parallel or perpendicular to Market Street, while those on the northwest are nine degrees off from the cardinal directions.
Market Street is a major transit artery for the city of San Francisco, and has carried in turn horse-drawn streetcars, cable cars, electric streetcars, electric trolleybuses, and diesel buses. Today Muni's buses, trolleybuses, and heritage streetcars (on the F Market line) share the street, while below the street the two-level Market Street Subway carries Muni Metro and BART. While cable cars no longer operate on Market Street, the surviving cable car lines terminate to the side of the street at its intersections with California Street and Powell Street.
Construction
Market Street cuts across the city for three miles (5 km) from the waterfront to the hills of Twin Peaks. It was laid out originally by Jasper O'Farrell, a 26-year old trained civil engineer who emigrated to Yerba Buena, as the town was then known. The town was renamed San Francisco in 1847 after it was captured by Americans during the Mexican-American War. O'Farrell first repaired the original layout of the settlement around Portsmouth Square and then established Market Street as the widest street in town, 120 feet between property lines. (Van Ness now beats it with 125 feet.) It was described at the time as an arrow aimed straight at "Los Pechos de la Chola" (the Breasts of the Maiden), now called Twin Peaks.
