Patience is a virtue!

 

Barrington, IL

You just never know where birds are going to nest. There is a very large tree right at the edge of Waterbird Regional Preserve, a 198-acre area comprised of a wetland and the associated uplands to the east. Every year numerous Great Egrets, Snowy Egrets and Great Blue Herons return to build their nest in a huge eucalyptus tree there. From a distance this tree looks as though it has been “TP’d.” The birds are currently in the process of nest building but it’s always fun to watch them flying back and forth gathering sticks. We can’t wait for the chicks to hatch and will be updating our Flickr pictures when that happens.

American alligator

Alligators make nests out of plants and decomposing vegetation in their habitat. The nest protects and camouflages the clutch of eggs from predators, and the temperature inside the nest influences the sex of the alligator's offspring.

 

It's a good idea to avoid any nests or alligators,

The Osprey are back, and getting ready for spring!!

This noisy little wren was looking for both invertebrates and nesting materials today at Steigerwald near the 2nd bridge.

I captured this swan working on her nest at our favourite local park! We had so many amazing wildlife encounters on our Monday night walk!

Everyone needs a home ;-)))

I'm seeing them often while they're working on the nest. I imagine I'll see them constantly once they get some eggs and chicks.

 

I'm beginning to think they're red-shouldered hawks.

The rufous hummingbird is a small bird averaging about 3 inches long. It is one of the smallest hummingbirds in North America.

One of the several eagle nests in my area that are used year after year to raise a new population of Bald Eagles. I'll be watching this one and hopefully documenting the event.

Planckendael is a zoo, located on the grounds of Planckendael castle in the village district of Muizen, in Mechelen, Belgium. In 1956 the Royal Zoological Society of Antwerp (KMDA) bought the Planckendael estate in order to acquire a larger space for animals than what they owned: the city zoo in Antwerp.

 

Planckendael also has extensive leisure facilities: For children there is a large separate play area.

"Shame on the Moon" is a song written by Rodney Crowell and first recorded for his eponymous 1981 album. It was subsequently covered by Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band, as the lead single from their 1982 album The Distance. Glenn Frey joins Seger on background harmony vocals on the song. The song spent four weeks at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 pop singles chart and topped the adult contemporary chart. The song also went to number 15 on the country chart in early 1983, marking Seger's only Top 40 entry on that chart.

Hair @jessefox21hair

 

Earlier this year Jesse approached me with a desire to create something together and offered to style the hair for the shoot. I was thrilled and immediately agreed because it had been far too long since I last did any creative project, and I was in a creative slump. The idea of incorporating a bird's nest into the hair came to me instantly. I’ve had this idea for a while but was uncertain about how to bring it to life. I previously worked with Melanie and offered her to be our model. We traveled to Jesse's studio in New Jersey and captured the photos in his backyard during the sunset in early spring. The timing was perfect as I specifically wanted bare branches in the backdrop for this concept. Thank you Jesse and Melanie. You did an amazing job, and this photoshoot wouldn't have been possible without you.

It's that time again.. lots of wood storks nesting in Wakodahatchee wetlands. They seem to like building nests on crab apple trees.
