This was taken Dec of 2019, this nest location never worked out for them as they could never get more that a few branches into the tree before they all would fall out. These Bald Eagles work very well together in trying to construct a new nest.
Hunting Great Blue Herons wade slowly or stand statue-like, stalking fish and other prey in shallow water or open fields. Watch for the lightning-fast thrust of the neck and head as they stab with their strong bills. Their very slow wingbeats, tucked-in neck and trailing legs create an unmistakable image in flight.
Great Blue Herons have a long back toe that helps them to grab onto branches to sit in trees and to nest in them. They build sturdy stick nests. Most of them nest in colonies of a few to hundreds of pairs, but some Great Blue Herons are more territorial and nest far from others. No one understands why some are so much more solitary than others.

I lived first in a little house,
And lived there very well;
I thought the world was small and round,
And made of pale blue shell.
I lived next in a little nest,
Nor needed any other;
I thought the world was made of straw,
And brooded by my mother.
One day I fluttered from the nest
To see what I could find.
I said, “The world is made of leaves;
I have been very blind.”
At length I flew beyond the tree,
Quite fit for grown-up labours.
I don’t know how the world is made,
And neither do my neighbours!
Came across this active beauty while wandering around the pond at Royal Roads. Was struck by the intricacy and detail.
A beautiful sight............at 500mm.

This male Osprey and its mate recently returned for the summer, and are busily adding to their existing nest in preparation for their next clutch.

This Say's Phoebe has a nest in the eves of our desert shack. This morning, wearing the color black, I hid in the shade and took shots of the Phoebes bringing food to the nest.

Good Monday Morning folks, and hope a great Holiday weekend was had by all and a safe one as well.
I thought I would post this to show that there really was a nest to protect and how the behavior of the Juvy depicted the behavior of the adult, and also was in a defensive pose even at that age. Thanks to all for visiting and have a wonderful day.
The pair of rooks in their nest, seen from my home window :) They will be hidden behind the leave s soon :)

The Australian pied cormorant (Phalacrocorax varius), also known as the pied cormorant, pied shag, or great pied cormorant, is a medium-sized member of the cormorant family. It is found around the coasts of Australasia. In New Zealand, it is usually known either as the pied shag or by its Māori name of kāruhiruhi. Older sources may refer to it as the yellow-faced cormorant. The pied cormorant is predominantly black on its back and upper surface of the wings and white on the underside with males weighing approximately 2.2 kg and females 1.7 kg. It stands between 65–85 cm tall, with a wingspan of 110–130 cm. A small yellow patch between the bill and the eye on each side of the head is likely to have been the reason for the historical common name. It has large webbed feet which it utilises to pursue fish underwater, steering with half opened wings. The bird has a large hooked bill, green eyes with a blue eye ring and black legs and feet. The eyes have a special nictitating membrane for underwater protection. The pied cormorant can often be seen spreading its wings after diving to help dry the feathers, as it has inadequate waterproofing. This lack of feather waterproofing may help the cormorant spend longer underwater due to decreased buoyancy effects. 41834

On our recent North Carolina trip we decided to take a pontoon boat ride down the Intracoastal Waterway. The tour boat was rocking around quite a bit that morning, but I did manage to capture this osprey nest atop one of the channel markers.
She was none too happy about our boat even approaching the marker, even though we were just cruising by. 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.
They are very beautiful (in an angry bird sort of way), and certainly a bit of a challenge to photograph w/ only a pair of sea legs to help keep things steady! ;)

"Guarding the Nest" is a non-HDR image that was processed in ACR, and later finished in Photoshop.
Ps processing also includes the use of Topaz Labs plugins -- Adjust, Clean, Denoise, Detail, LensFX, and Impression.
Just back from damp Easter weekend down in Monmouthshire with family. Not really a great weekend for getting out with the camera, but I did get up to the Eagles Nest above the River Wye, just North of Chepstow, last night and I took this panorama as a little light penetrated the dark skies and lit up the meadows below.
It is quite a climb up from the valley to this point, but it is worth it for the view. I must get here in Autumn for a picture with the autumn colours creating a much different feel to the scene. From here you can see the Severn Bridge spanning the Bristol Channel and Chepstow Racecourse on the right middle of this shot.
This is seven frames merged in photoshop to create a wider shot taking in the bend in the River Wye.
Eagle Nest, Arizona was the 'station too far' for me, on my first visit to the area last winter. I had naively attempted to navigate the BNSF access road from near Williams, through to Crookton in one day. After almost rolling my rental on a cinder access road near East Eagle Nest, I had given up and left with no photos at the classic location to show for my efforts.
This year I returned with better situational awareness of the geography, roads, and photo angles, in additional to a rental vehicle better suited to the terrain.
One of two empty unit tank trains at the back of 'the morning fleet' east out of Needles speeds through Eagle Nest, on one of the massive fills that characterize the Crookton Cutoff. High sun position, and the flat black tank cars detract from this image somewhat, but I was pleased nonetheless to finally have an Eagle Nest shot in my album.

Although this male looks dark when sitting he would be classified as an Intermediate morph, brown bibbed type. This is the same hawk as yesterday's post. I will include several follow up photos of their young as the nest was low enough for me to use my telephoto lens and document them.
