Getting ready for a major show next weekend in Wamego. New prints and rethinking of old ones. Here is a new version of a giant bald eagle nest which I loved until the tree fell...

Hopefully we will soon have little gators to watch and photograph.
A little info on alligator nesting:
"Mounds are typically made with mud, plants pieces, sticks and grass. Once the female has built her nest, it will stand three feet height and have a 6-foot diameter. At this point, she will lay her clutch of eggs, usually, between 30-50 of them, about 3-14 inches deep into the nest. Alligator eggs are hard and white and just slightly bigger than a large chicken egg. Once the eggs have been laid, the female alligator will cover the nest with vegetation so she can lay near while the warmth of the gasses produced from rotting vegetation, incubate the eggs. She will stay very near her eggs for the 65 days until they hatch.
During the incubation period, the mother alligator has to watch carefully over her the eggs because near-by predators are always lurking. Raccoons, skunks and opossums are always on the prowl to raid nests for eggs. Fewer than 70 percent of alligator eggs survive due to predators and weather conditions.
The eggs will hatch in the late summer. The hatchlings can do this due to the sharp tooth that forms on their snout for the very purpose of cracking the egg. This tooth will disappear in a matter of days. The mother alligator will know that her babies are ready because they will start making high-pitched sounds to show their entry into the world. The female alligator will uncover her nest. If a hatchling is having trouble hatching from its shell, the mother alligator will roll the egg around in her mouth until the egg cracks. She will then usually carry them down to the water so that they can feed themselves. In the water, the will be able to catch snails, insects, tadpoles, minnows and crayfish, which are all small enough for them to eat."

The Bluebirds are hard at nest building. House Wrens arrived today, so there is a lot of bickering over nest boxes. Also a Cowbird attempted to drop an egg into the Bluebird's nest box (not an easy feat - but I've seen it before). Also, Hummers showed up today with loads of other migrants.
Lots of new stuff on my blog at:

This was a great scene - - the male dove was bring the female dove nesting materials and she was placing them in all the right places. Seen while visiting the Living Desert while on vacation.
The nest is empty, the eggs gone, only feathers and straw left now, seems colder...

One of my 'creative' Easter images for that year...
I always experience that one idea brings on another and then I am feverishly working away, time flies and nothing goes fast enough... my actions can't follow my brain lol, it's not easy being a 'creative', nor to live with one... day crosses into night, I forget to eat or drink, I'm in my own world.
Happy to have some of the child still in my heart and mind!
LOL. Have a good one, enjoy the chocolate (+;~)

This nest was in my fern on my deck. I think mama didn't like my presence, so this poor egg has been abandoned.
I've been watching a nest of sibling osprey as they have grown (and outgrown) their home in the last few weeks. Pictured here, one of the birds repeatedly attempts to intimidate the other, who is dining on a fish below. Screeching, and diving, all attempts fail, and the two tersely settle in together on the platform once again.
It's been a bit of a learning curve with this new lens, so this is by no means a technical masterpiece ( I've got a ways to go with photographing birds! ), but it certainly was an exciting moment.

bushtit pair - it was fascinating to watch them come and go and the first time I've seen a bushtit nest. Female is at the back.
I took just the teensiest bit of liberty with the title, since the picture has absolutely nothing to do with eels. It's the detail, converted to black and white from the previous shot in my Flickr photostream.
Other pictures that were either taken in black and white or converted to black and white can be seen, oddly enough, in my Black and White album.
