My granddaughter Phoebe showing me the Robin's nest that she and her sister Margo found inside their backyard play structure five days ago. It was empty the day they found it. Since then, there has been a new egg added each day. The mother robin wasn't too happy with me intruding to take my photo.
I have abandonment issues and because of that I tend to put up walls and make it hard for people to get in. But that also makes it hard for me to see the people who are trying to get in. I wanted to convey that in my image: my tendency to focus so intensely on my loneliness that I don't see those around me trying to get in.
I have a LOT more on this image at my blog
I also am tentatively back on flickr. I'm the same Kathryn Juarez Photography but I created a new account to start over. I have had a not so healthy relationship with flickr in the past and so I wanted to avoid posting to it while I rediscover myself and my art. I didn't want to get sucked into posting images and then loving or hating them depending on how many likes or comments I got. It really tends to suck me in and slowly destroy me.
But I decided to come back, start a new page, and only post the images I absolutely love and am proud of. I decided to make a flickr account because I AM proud of this image and it means a lot to me. Why not share it with the world? So I won't be posting too often and I won't post everything I create. But feel free to keep up with my blog if you feel so inclined. I will post everything I create there.

I discovered a Queenie wasp making her nest in the play shed today. Thankfully she hadn't got very far and I was able to remove it intact.
I am always amazed by the beauty and delicacy of wasps nests. I've photographed this little one here with the remains of a much bigger one and some skeleton hydrangea petals. I found the remains while sweeping the patio after the winter. I've no idea where the actual nest was.
A pair of great blue herons on Rondeau Bay today, March 17, 2019.
Difficult to get a clear image as there were bits of cattails and phragmities in the way.
They were doing mutual grooming which I am guessing is courting behaviour.
Ardea herodias
Great Blue Herons congregate at fish hatcheries, creating potential problems for the fish farmers. A study found that herons ate mostly diseased fish that would have died shortly anyway. Sick fish spent more time near the surface of the water where they were more vulnerable to the herons.
It’s always fascinating to clean out the chickadee house we keep on the front porch. This nest in approximately 10cm square and was home to a hatch of five chicks this summer. Chickadees are compact birds, but that would have been one cramped flat if you ask me.
"Kiskadee Nest Building" by Patti Deters. A Great Kiskadee (Pitangus sulphuratus) is perched on a tree leafy branch, carefully carrying nesting material in its beak. The songbird displays its characteristic bright yellow underparts, contrasting with its brown back and wings, and a distinctive black and white striped head pattern. Its sturdy posture and focused gaze suggest its determination in the task of nest building. This passerine was photographed at Hazel-Bazemore Calallen Park in Corpus Christi, Texas, USA. Thank you for viewing this picture.

Third in a series of 3
As I was watching the other eagle in the tree, the one I had arbitrarily dubbed the female, there came a high-pitched whistling call and this one came into view. She returned the call and flew up to meet him, they circled around then she flew off and he landed, looking rather ungainly with his landing gear down :-)
If there were eggs they would be taking turns sitting on the nest and not on the branch. The female lays eggs about 5 - 10 days after a successful mating so I surmise that they have mated and are now guarding the nest so that no other birds can take up housekeeping there while they wait. Just a guess. I love watching these magnificent birds!
An Asian Openbill nest with near adult sized juveniles. The breeding season is after the rains, during July to September in northern India and Nepal, and November to March in southern India and Sri Lanka. They may skip breeding in drought years. The Asian Openbill breeds colonially, building a rough platform of sticks often on half-submerged trees (often Barringtonia, Avicennia and Acacia species), typically laying two to four eggs. The nesting trees are either shared with those of egrets, cormorants and darters, or can be single-species colonies. The nests are close to each other leading to considerable jostling among neighbours. Both parents take turns in incubation, the eggs hatching after about 25 days. The chicks emerge with cream coloured down and are shaded by the loosely outspread and drooped wings of a parent.
The Osprey in this picture is bleeding-off forward speed by using the wingtip feathers and its tail as brakes on its approach to their nest.
Best viewed large on black.
I did a prom photo shoot for friends over the weekend, and found this nest full of eggs down by the lake! Not sure if it's ducks or coots, because we never saw an adult near the nest while we were there.
The Mother Osprey brings in another stick for the nest. It seems odd that the parents would still be adding sticks when the kids are only days away from fledging. I have observed this behavior in the past. My speculation is that this is a nest building lesson for the kids. They watch with attention as Mom carefully places the new stick. Near St. Clair Park, Bellingham, Wa.
Mama in the nest just down the beach from the eagle tree next door. Dad had just dropped off fresh kill, so I went down to check if I could see feeding babies...but not yet. This is a deep nest mind you...I'm hopeful.
This I was told is a Owl's nest and with the low water level of Barr lake I was able to walk in front of it to see if any one was home but this don't look like feather's. I went back a couple day's later just to see and it was empty. When the lake starts to fill you can't see the opening.
Apple blossom and a piece of twisted plant root with Belgian chocolate praline eggs. Spent an entire hour painstakingly making a nest from birch twigs — I have a new-found respect for birds's ability to make these using only their tiny beaks and feet — my fingers and opposable thumbs found the task decidedly tricky!
Finally arriving at its nest behind a lot a small branches with its stick after flying all the past the other nests. Mom looked a bit alarmed on the nest when he arrived. :-)
Great Blue Heron rookery active again this year, about 14-15 nests. About 125 yards from the road, about 75 feet high and only a small window to shoot through the trees between us. Only there a short time, extremely windy and got overcast so detail and exposure off on many. Will be going back check on them from time to time.

The bluebirds have chosen a home and are very busy building their nest. We are so happy that they have picked our back yard for another summer!
