This eagle flew into the nest with a fish. A few seconds later, the other eagle in the nest flew off to hunt, and this one stayed. I believe the sparrow is building or has a nest in the eagle nest.

Carr Mill Dam again. Wow, I'm really digging into the back catalogue at the moment, all the result of a house move that has put most of my picture taking on temporary hold at the moment.

Moorhens are sometimes known as the "skitty coots"

The name moorhen is misleading and is, in fact, a corruption of mirehen or marshhen, which gives a much truer picture of its natural habitat. Since, however, it is essentially a wild bird of an independent nature, it usually keeps its distance from human intruders and, except in severe weather, does not join the rush for social security handouts of crumbs so eagerly accepted by the tamer members of the duck population.

This sycamore was one of the largest and widest trees in the park at the edge of a remote section of the wetland. Perfect spot to build a massive nest and survey the area.

Lakeshore Park, Newark, CA

Two of three Australian Paper Wasps (Polistes humilis) have recently reoccupied an old nest. A third wasp prefers to hide behind the nest.

Second in my series of nesting birds we observed at Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge.

 

This American Coot nest didn't conform to the norm. Here's what the Cornell Lab says about coot nests: "Nests are almost always built over water on floating platforms and almost always associated with dense stands of living or dead vegetation such as reeds, cattails, bulrushes, sedges, and grasses."

 

This nest was far from any living or dead vegetation and was far from the edge of the lake.

SoCal. These herons provided lots of opportunities to work on my camera technique as they predictably harvested nesting material from an area close to their nests. I still had a tough time getting them in focus.

In the summer of 2001, as a present to myself, I purchased a Canon FD 200 mm bayonet mount lens. This roll of film was my first test roll shot with it. I still have the lens and regard it as one the best in my collection.

 

Check out an album containing more of my photos shot in 2001.

Technique: Nesting Miner Bee Deconstruction.

 

Tech Specs: Canon 80D (F11, 1/250, ISO 200 with highlight tone priority) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (around 2x) + a diffused MT-24EX (both flash heads on the Canon flash mount, E-TTL metering with -1 FEC). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held.

As we head into fall I with covid still on our heels, I find myself looking for objects around my house - making do with available light and subjects. This nest usually has a home on my window ledge. I'm sure I can probably find lots of oddities around her to keep me busy this winter.
